P.D.E.

Once a year, each residency class embarks on a trip to visit other residency programs and places of interest in another area of the country.  These voyages, the Professional Development Experiences (PDEs), are designed to introduce residents to other programs and view the residency process from another perspective.  The residents themselves get to pick the destinations and plan the trip. It is a very educational experience to see how other programs function and practice, adding to the resident’s experience. When the residents return, they share what they learned at Pharmacy Grand Rounds.  Many things have been learned and implemented as a result of this experience. For more information, see AJHP 2006;63:953-5.

This year, the PGY2 residents headed to Houston, TX, to visit the residency programs at MD Anderson Cancer Center, Texas Children's Hospital, and The Methodist Hospital.  The PGY1 residents headed to Michigan to visit the residency programs at the University of Michigan, Detroit Medical Center, and William Beaumont Hospital.
