Do residents have to travel? Is there reimbursement?
Residents are expected to travel to ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting and The Ohio Pharmacy Resident Conference. Additionally, pharmacy residents are expected to showcase the residency program on the local level. The Teaching and Learning Certificate Program offered through Ohio Northern University also requires minimal travel.
Travel/meeting expenses are built into the residents’ stipend. By increasing the stipend to account for expenses anticipated for these events the resident may choose how to use the monies and the program does not risk the lack of availability to fund due to travel freezes, etc. The increase in stipend is anticipated to cover meeting registration, hotel and airline costs.

When does the program start and end?
The program generally starts the last week of June and continues until the end of June in the following year.
