Despite our size as an individual entity, we are a constituent of the West Virginia University Medicine (WVUM) health system, the largest health system in the state of West Virginia. This allows us to provide a personalized approach throughout the residency year, while the available resources of an incredible health system with national exposure and graduates located throughout the United States.
The residency program is structured in a stepwise manner to further contribute to the development of pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a diverse range of conditions. Furthermore, the program will provide the necessary foundation, allowing for the pursuit of advanced education and training, whether this be a specialized post-graduate year two (PGY-2) residency program or board certification eligibility.
