This program is designed to provide training within a broad range of pharmacy practice settings, while remaining flexible enough to adapt to the needs and goals of the individual resident. 

PGY1 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and outcomes to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions, eligible for board certification, and eligible for postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency training.

Residents will work alongside 25 pharmacist staff and 28 non-professional staff in a decentralized model, and will be mentored by Board Certified preceptors in a variety of specialized practice areas.

Residents will be extensively involved with the P&T process, will receive ACLS training to join in the Code Blue response teams, and will participate in the clinical pharmacist consult service, managing aminoglycoside, vancomycin, warfarin, and TPN dosing/monitoring, all while working with over 300 physicians training in multiple specialties from the Sunrise Health System Graduate Medical Education Consortium.
