ABOUT THE PROGRAM Opened in 1933 as the Wichita Veterans Hospital, the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center serves Veterans living in 59 counties across Kansas through our main facility and five
Community-Based Outpatient Clinics in Dodge City, Hays, Hutchinson, Parsons, and Salina. The Pharmacy serves 22,000 Veterans, processes over 52,000 prescriptions per month, and oversees 24
Clinical Pharmacy Practitioners (CPP). CPPs maintain an independent scope of practice to monitor and adjust drug therapy in Acute Care, Behavioral Health, Cardiology, Home Based Primary
Care, Infectious Disease, Nephrology, Oncology, Pain Management, Pharmacogenomics, Primary Care, and Short-Stay Rehab Departments. The facility has a large percentage of rural patients, so
pharmacy residents are exposed to virtual modalities for taking care of patients. This experience will help the resident develop many talents to be successful in pursuing a pharmacy practice
or matching with a PGY2 residency at the completion of the year. Our program also provides introductory and advanced experiential practice rotations for pharmacy students from the
University of Kansas and Creighton University pharmacy schools. Residents are provided the opportunity to instruct and precept students while on service.
