Evaluation of the impact of a residency in an independent pharmacy in rural Mississippi.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of a postgraduate year 1 (PGY1) community pharmacy residency program on clinical pharmacy service implementation and enhancement in a rural Mississippi community.

SETTING: An independent rural community pharmacy in Canton, MS.

PRACTICE DESCRIPTION AND INNOVATION: Delivery of clinical pharmacy services provided by PGY1 community residents 1 day a week to an underserved population during an 18-month period.

EVALUATION: Economic impact of a community pharmacy residency on the pharmacy's revenue stream determined by calculating an estimated dollar amount generated by clinical pharmacy services.

RESULTS: By providing services 1 day a week, the residents were able to directly contribute an estimated $8000 of revenue from vaccinations and medication therapy management services. In addition, residents provided point-of-care testing, facilitated group education, developed a medication synchronization program, and assisted with physician outreach.

CONCLUSION: Overall, community pharmacy residencies can contribute to the generation of revenue in rural independent settings and may also offer an opportunity to generate revenue in different areas that were not present before residency implementation, thereby improving access to care for patients.
