St. Louis Children's Hospital is one of the premier children's hospitals in the United States. It serves not just the children of St. Louis, but children around the world. St. Louis Children's provides a full range of pediatric services to the St. Louis metropolitan area and and its primary service region covers six states. St. Louis Children's is the pediatric teaching hospital for WashU Medicine as well as several colleges of pharmacy, including the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) School of Pharmacy. The Department of Psychology at St. Louis Children's is proud to offer four American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) accredited residency positions.
In alignment with the BJC HealthCare mission, the pharmacy residency program at BJC collectively strives to recruit, support, and develop future generations of pharmacists from diverse backgrounds to enhance health care outcomes for our patients and uphold equity among our staff. Diversity represents a broad range of elements including, but not limited to, race and ethnicity, gender identity, religion, age, socioeconomic background, place of origin, physical abilities, and other life experiences. We believe that active engagement in diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts will strengthen the quality of training experienced by our residents, deepen the level of trust and comfort in care received by our patients, and increase medication compliance and patient involvement in care. We hope that the benefits of this commitment expand beyond the diverse patient populations in St. Louis, and to any patient cared for by pharmacists who complete pharmacy residency training at BJC.
