Our PGY1 Pharmacy Residency program has been accredited by ASHP since 1994, offering residents the opportunity to participate in collaborative, integrated care in health system pharmacy practice. Residents apply advanced practice-based skills, expand leadership skills, participate in professional organizations, and participate in innovative approaches to delivery of care.

The PGY1 Pharmacy Residency is one program with two sites – Providence Portland Medical Center (PPMC) and Providence St. Vincent Medical Center (PSVMC) – which are both about 500-beds. Both PPMC and PSVMC have implemented a layered learning model, with pharmacy student/resident/attending pharmacist teams on each of the core clinical services, structured in the same way as the medical education model. The teams work collaboratively with other clinicians to provide patient care and improve medication management across the continuum of care. The PGY1 Pharmacy Residency program provides broad experience and confidence in practice-based skills across diverse practice settings while offering the opportunity to obtain focused experience in areas of interest.

The PGY1 Pharmacy Residency Program offers 11 resident positions. Each resident has a home site: five PGY1 residents at PPMC and six PGY1 residents at PSVMC. At PPMC, there is also a PGY1/PGY2 Health-System Administration resident, whose PGY1 year is identical to the PGY1 Pharmacy residency with the addition of MBA coursework.

All 11 residents from PPMC and PSVMC are part of a single PGY1 program. All residents rotate throughout our health system and come together regularly for meetings, conferences, and projects. Though each site has its own NMS matching number, candidates are encouraged to rank both sites when applying. You can find more information on our website.
