Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) February 21, 2017 -- Benzer Pharmacy is introducing a Pharmacy Residency Program. The post graduation training program is aimed at providing further training to pharmacy students with a focus in clinical care. “Benzer Pharmacy is excited to initiate the pharmacy residency program which will provide practitioners with a competitive edge over their peers,” Says Lindsay Wall, Benzer Pharmacy Chief Clinical Officer.

In Florida, the options available for the pharmacy residency are community pharmacy and managed care pharmacy, with only three sites in the state offering community pharmacy residency program. Lindsay, who is also the Residency Program Director says Benzer Pharmacy is the only pharmacy based institution – commercial – to offer such a program in Florida. Benzer Pharmacy Residency Program will focus on Medication Therapy Management (MTM), Chronic Disease State Management, Asthma Education, and Business Development. “We shall host one pharmacy resident per 12-month period. The first resident is expected to start in July 2017 and he/she will receive a stipend too.” Lindsay adds.

Benzer Pharmacy residents will be selected through a match program on ASHP’s PhORCAS (Pharmacy Online Residency Centralized Application Service) - http://www.ashp.org/phorcas

American Pharmaceutical Association (APHA) is the accrediting body that evaluates residency programs. The "match" is open so applications are still being accepted. http://ow.ly/hkvh3094qSN
