Teaching Opportunities

An elective longitudinal teaching certificate program is available through the University of Findlay College of Pharmacy. This rotation does not count towards one of your allotted elective one-month rotations during the residency year.

In addition to the optional teaching certificate program, residents will take an active role in teaching and precepting pharmacy students on their APPE rotations both as co- and primary preceptors. MetroHealth System takes students from all colleges of pharmacy in Ohio in addition to other colleges based on requests.
