PGY2 Pediatric Pharmacy Residency Program
The purpose of the PGY2 Pediatric Pharmacy Residency at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is to build on Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in pediatrics. PGY2 residencies provide residents with opportunities to function independently as practitioners by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge and incorporating both into the provision of patient care or other advanced practice settings. Residents who successfully complete an accredited PGY2 pharmacy residency are prepared for advanced patient care, academic, or other specialized positions, along with board certification (BCPPS).
  
PGY1/PGY2 Combined Corporate Pharmacy Administration and Leadership Residency Program
The purpose of the combined PGY1/PGY2 Corporate Pharmacy Administration and Leadership (CPAL) residency provided by CHOP, in partnership with Cencora is to build upon a PGY1 residency graduates’ competence (following completion of the PGY1 Program at CHOP) in the delivery of patient-centered care and in pharmacy operational services to prepare residents who can assume high level managerial, supervisory, and leadership responsibilities. This combined residency program will provide residents with opportunities to experience and build knowledge in safe and effective medication-use systems, quality assurance and improvement, the development of strategic sourcing initiatives utilizing clinical expertise, the use of advanced literature analysis skills, the management of human resources, the management of financial resources, use of technology, and advanced leadership. Residents who successfully complete an accredited combined PGY1/PGY2 Corporate Pharmacy Administration and Leadership residency will have a strong foundation for continued growth in management and leadership skills, preparing them for a clinical or operational management/supervisory role in a variety of work settings.
