Facility:
Warm Springs Health and Wellness Center was built in 1991 and is a busy ambulatory care center with over 58,000 patient visits each year.  We primarily serve the Warm Springs, Wasco, and Paiute tribes of central Oregon.  The medical staff is very stable and a very amiable relationship exists between the medical and pharmacy staff.  The clinic takes a multi-disciplinary approach to patient care and the Electronic Health Record is fully implemented at our site. 

Rotational Experience Opportunities:
The Warm Springs Pharmacy Practice Residency Program is designed to prepare the Resident to succeed in a career with the Indian Health Service.  The opportunities for pharmacists in the Indian Health Service are diverse and include, but are not limited to:  clinical pharmacy, administrative pharmacy, inpatient therapy, ambulatory care, medical informatics, formulary/budgetary management, and program oversight.  This Pharmacy Practice Residency is predominately an Ambulatory Pharmacy based program, but does incorporate a 6-week hospital rotation at a rural hospital located in Madras, OR where our providers have admitting privileges.  The Resident will have the opportunity to practice in expanded roles through participation in pharmacy-run clinics with limited prescribing privileges (Collaborative Practice Agreements).   The multi-disciplinary approach to patient care affords the resident an opportunity to work closely with providers, nurses, laboratory technicians, dentists, an optometrist, public health nurses, community health representatives, quality improvement/risk management, IT professionals, etc.  This site is for the Resident who wants to experience a comprehensive approach to health care in a supportive, multi-disciplinary environment.

Special Features:
Pharmacists participate in 4 pharmacy-run clinics:  Hypertension, Tobacco Cessation, Alcohol Abstinence, and Anticoagulation.  We also offer adult immunizations in the pharmacy.  Each year 7 to 8 pharmacy students complete 4 to 6 week rotations at our site.  Drug information resources and computer support are readily available.  Warm Springs is located in the high desert of Central Oregon just east of the Cascade mountain range with less than 12 inches of precipitation and 300 days of sunshine each year.  The location is excellent with many outdoor activities at your backdoor – skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, biking, camping, rock climbing, etc.
