The PGY1 pharmacy residency program builds on the foundation of the Doctor of Pharmacy education to develop the resident into the clinical pharmacist of tomorrow who is responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions. Following the completion of the residency, residents are well prepared for board certification and/or postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency training.
Our program develops the knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed to pursue rational drug therapy. As a result, residents gain an advanced level of practical training and experience. The core curriculum focuses on enhancing competency in acute and ambulatory patient care, drug information, drug use policy-making, and practice management. A flexible schedule of required core rotations and three elective rotations enhances proficiency to provide expert pharmaceutical care. Core experiences include: Orientation, Pharmacy Administration, Ambulatory Care, Internal Medicine, Critical Care, and Infectious Diseases.
Through the use of evidence-based learning combined with hands-on application, the program fosters the development of the resident’s skills and builds confidence. They are well-trained to effectively participate in therapeutic decision-making and drug therapy monitoring aimed at improving patient care. Review our residency website at:
