Residency Showcase Program Listings

Our program consists of a 12-month postgraduate curriculum that offers training opportunities in acute care, clinical services, medication safety, and pharmacy leadership. PGY1 residents take on the role of clinical pharmacists and provide care to patients in a variety of settings under the guidance of skilled preceptors. A major strength of the program is the number of instructors with many years of experience in various clinical specialties (e.g. oncology, critical care, internal medicine, surgery) and in the area of management and medication safety. Residents grow exponentially in their clinical skills and gain experience in teaching, pharmacy operations, and medication use policy and evaluation. The program places an emphasis on the provision of pharmaceutical care in many patient care areas.

The NCH Healthcare System PGY1 Pharmacy Residency program has been fully accredited by ASHP. Two residency candidates will join our healthcare team and continue to help expand our educational programs alongside NCH internal medicine physician residents.
