A national database is available to assist residents who may be interested in VA PGY-2 residencies or pharmacy positions. Past residents accepted positions in health systems, academia, and PGY2 residencies.  We have hired at least one resident per year into CTVHCS positions from either our PGY-1 or PGY-2 residency programs.
