The Residency Conference of the Rockies was founded by CPS efforts in 2022 to offer a Colorado-based opportunity for PGY1 and PGY2 residents to present their year-long required research projects. Each year the conferences boasts over 20 residency programs in attendance. The conference includes a key note address, resident presentations, food and refreshments and a combined reception with the CPS Annual Meeting kick-off.
MISSION: To provide pharmacy residents and fellows an opportunity to showcase major projects and foster knowledge exchange among local residency programs.

Ambulatory Care Clinical Pharmacy Specialist
Intermountain Health, Peaks Region | Saint Joseph’s Hospital
After completing my undergraduate degree in biology and psychology at the University of Denver, I went on to be a high school science teacher. Although I loved the content and interacting with students, I decided to apply to pharmacy school based off the recommendation of a close family member who was passionate about his role as a pharmacist. I attended the University of Colorado Skaggs School of Pharmacy and graduated in 2010.
After graduation, I completed a PGY1 residency at Lutheran Medical Center and a PGY2 residency in Ambulatory Care at Kaiser Permanente Colorado. I was then hired at Saint Joseph Hospital as the Kaiser Permanente Inpatient Clinical Pharmacy Specialist where I spent much of my time providing medication therapy management to seniors coming through the emergency room and rounding on patients residing on the internal medicine floor.
In April 2014, I came back to Lutheran where I was fortunate to be part of an amazing pharmacy and medical team to ensure the best possible care to patients. In 2016, I moved into an Acute Care Supervisor role and eventually the Residency Program Director. During this time, I discovered my passion for leadership and helping our team grow into confident and competent clinical pharmacists. This passion led me to become the Clinical Manager position in March of 2022. I loved the challenges and interactions with our team this role presented. I was also grateful for the opportunities to be a part of Peaks Region Clinical Pharmacy team that made significant decisions and process changes to improve the safety and care of our patients.
In March of 2024, I made the difficult decision to take some time away from work and spend more time with my amazing daughter, wonderful husband, family and friends and devote more time to the continued development and growth of the Residency Conference of the Rockies. You can also find me out trail running, mountain biking, skiing, traveling and enjoying the beauty that Colorado has to offer.

CPS is proud to partner with a spectacular planning committee to once again offer a Colorado-based, affordable Residency Conference option for the high-quality PGY1 and PGY2 residency programs in the region. Colorado is the perfect setting to showcase the excellent residency projects in our state and warmly welcome attendees from other states as well!
Since our inaugural conference in 2022, the RCOR has continued to grow and prosper. Our Planning Chair Jody Adams, as well as a dedicated planning committee, have worked hard to bring you a rewarding and invigorating day in 2024. We are also very excited to offer an exciting destination at the Hotel Colorado to make it a memorable experience for residents, RPDs and all attendees.
We hope you will also stay for the CPS 2024 Annual Meeting; “Pharmacy Forward!”, an event full of optimistic and reinvigorating sessions, fabulous networking opportunities and wellbeing activities. The Annual Meeting immediately follows the RCOR on June 13-14, 2024 (discount registration available)!
