The Department of Pharmacy at Scott & White provides progressive, clinically oriented pharmacy services for the hospital, clinic and health plan.

Clinical pharmacy specialists currently practice at Scott & White in a variety of specialty areas include adult medicine, pediatrics, hematology/oncology, drug information, and ambulatory care.

In addition to provision of a wide array of clinically oriented patient care services, the Department of Pharmacy at Scott & White has a significant teaching/research presence within the institution. A major element of the departmental teaching mission involves offering both pharmacy practice and post-doctoral specialty residency training opportunities.

The Scott & White Department of Pharmacy, in conjunction with the UT College of Pharmacy, offers six positions as hospital-based, ASHP-accredited pharmacy practice residencies designed to provide broad training and experience in hospital pharmacy practice.  Five of the positions are adult hospital pharmacy practice positions; one of the five has a hematology-oncology emphasis. The sixth one position emphasizes pediatric pharmacy practice at the S&W Childrens’ Hospital. The residents divide the year between clinical rotations and Scott & White patient care pharmacist responsibilities; the combination of training and practice responsibilities provide a blend of experience for highly motivated individuals with a significant interest in hospital pharmacy practice who are beginning their professional careers.  Opportunities are also available for collaborative research and teaching experiences for the resident.
