Capital Health’s PGY-2 Pharmacotherapy Residency Program is a one-year training program designed to facilitate the transition of PGY-1 graduate to Clinical Specialists through exposure to a diverse patient population and learning experiences. Under the guidance of highly-qualified preceptors, the PGY-2 residents provide advanced pharmacy services in ambulatory, acute, and critical care settings. Additionally, graduates of this program will be well-prepared to further contribute to the field of pharmacy through clinical, educational, and scholarly activities.

The Capital Health Pharmacy Residents are considered integral members of the multidisciplinary team and graduate medical education program. Our PGY-2 resident is trained to be a preceptor for pharmacy students from various schools throughout the country, chief resident for the PGY-1 Pharmacy Practice residents, and educator for the pharmacy, medical, and nursing staff. Their contribution to the institution extends beyond patient care and education, through research projects, clinical initiatives, and leadership responsibilities that drive the advancement of pharmacy hospital practice and medication safety. Residents are challenged with scholarly pursuits and encouraged to participate in professional pharmacy associations to broaden their horizon.

Our residency program leadership is proud of our past PGY-1 graduates’ accomplishments and is confident in our ability to train a successful PGY-2 Pharmacotherapy resident. Our goal is to graduate independent practitioners well-equipped for specialized patient care, academia, and certifications. As a department, we continually strive for excellence and welcome all applicants who share in hospital’s mission to improve the health and well-being of the populations.
