Training and Support

The pharmacy orientation program provides the newly hired pharmacist with a comprehensive introduction to pharmacy practice at UAB.

Our pharmacists work together with patients’ best interests in mind. Pharmacists at UAB utilize each other as resources in an effort to provide the best possible patient care.

The Management Team supports and values the opinions and ideas of pharmacists. Meet Katie Coan, and read her story of management support.

Teamwork is an integral part of daily patient care activities. It takes a team to heal a patient.

Pharmacists at UAB Hospital are provided with many free Continuing Education (CE) opportunities. Presentations address disease states and treatment options, pharmacotherapy updates, new drugs, Joint Commission issues, pharmacy resident research, and a variety of topics of interest to our staff.

The Drug Information Service provides medication and related information to members of the medical staff, pharmacy staff and other health professionals. The Drug Information service also staffs the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee providing information on all aspects of the medication.
