The PGY-1 pharmacy residency program at TriStar Summit Medical Center seeks to build on the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and outcomes to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients.

Pharmacy Residency

On behalf of TriStar Summit, thank you for your interest in serving others through volunteerism. We consistently receive phone calls, emails, letters, and comments about the positive impact our volunteers are making in the lives of patients, families, and staff members. The dedication, unending generosity, and heartfelt kindness of our volunteers is inspiring. Through their relationships and service, our volunteers demonstrate one of the most important lessons in healthcare: Regardless of a hospital’s level of expertise, credentials, technology, and rankings, the most vital element in delivering quality patient care is the compassion and dedication of those who work and volunteer there. We are proud to say TriStar Summit has all of the above.

Volunteers serve in many capacities at TriStar Summit. Our volunteers commit to a minimum of one four-hour volunteer shift, once a week, for at least a six-month period of time. We have weekday, evening, and weekend volunteer opportunities available. There are three shift times offered each day: 8:00 am - 12:00 pm; 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm; and 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm.
