Pharmacy Internship
Eligible pharmacy students who meet the Connecticut Pharmacy Commission requirements may apply to
work as pharmacy interns, gaining valuable “on-the-job” experience under a registered pharmacist’s
supervision. Students will be exposed to a broad range of distributive and clinical functions performed
by pharmacy personnel. Students will learn about the medication delivery system, develop skills in
intravenous admixture and compounding dosage forms, gain experience in drug information and educational
programs, and have the opportunity to attend pharmacy meetings, seminars or clinical conferences,
in addition to other activities. Students are hired as pharmacy technicians and most often work during
summer and winter school breaks. Occasionally, some students volunteer in the department.
From preceptors and mentors at Saint Raphael’s
The value of a pharmacy practice residency
"It is a year to bridge the gap between student and practicing pharmacist."
"It is an opportunity to gain experience and to further build upon clinical, management, and practice skills, enabling a graduate student to transition with confidence and capability to a practitioner position or into specialized training."
"The value is the increased ability to recruit future skilled pharmacists and contribute to the advancement of pharmacy as a profession. Practitioners may find it advantageous to come to a site with an established training program as they see it as a commitment to continuous professional development."
"The residency offers experiences not only in traditional hospital practice and in expanding ambulatory experiences but also a unique business perspective as part of the Cardinal Health Pharmacy Management division."
