Points of Pride: 

• Our clinic-embedded pharmacists practice under a collaborative practice agreement (CPA) that encompasses more than 20 disease states including Diabetes, Heart Failure, COPD/Asthma, and Hepatitis C.
• The resident has the opportunity to establish a new practice site, become a credentialed practitioner of the healthsystem, and gain experience billing for services under Tennessee payment parity laws.
• Our program also offers opportunities in transitions of care, academia, and population health.  

To qualify as an applicant, each candidate must:

• Be a graduate of an ACPE accredited pharmacy degree program (or one in the process of pursuing accreditation) or have a Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Committee (FPGEC) certificate from the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP).
• Eligible for licensure in the state of Tennessee.
• Have completed or be in the process of completing a PGY1 ASHP accredited or candidate status accreditation residency program.
