Detailed Site Information
Institution
Broadway is a large family medicine residence training site for University of Minnesota Physicians, affiliated with North Memorial Hospital. Students will work with a largely diverse underserved patient population with an average age of 19. Through this rotation, students will be able to participate in the urban curriculum. Students will focus on learning to manage chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, congestive heart failure, and anticoagulation. In addition, students will help patients quit smoking. Students will also serve as a resource to physicians for patient care.
Pharmacy Services
We provide medication therapy management in addition to patient education. We also work in teams with other health care providers in individual and group settings.
The Broadway Pharmacy schedule is managed by two faculty clinical pharmacists and one U of Minnesota Pharmaceutical Care Leadership Resident.
Professionalism and Assessment
We provide feedback which is a collaboration of both pharmacists, physicians, and the pharmacy resident. This is done at the mid-point of your rotation and then again at the end. There is also a pre and post test we have you take for this rotation, this is not used for grading purposes, but as a guide to know where you may need more clinical knowledge
Resources
Laptops are available due to electronic medical records, students are able access all U of MN resources in addition to UptoDate and Dynamed. There is a library/sitting area for all students to place their personal items. We have a large breakroom with a refridgerator, microwave, toaster, dishwasher, water dispenser, and vending machines. Several fast food places are in walking distance, though most lunches will be spent at the hospital for noon conference where lunch is provided. Parking is in front of the clinic and we have passes for the hospital.
