PGY1 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and outcomes to develop pharmacist practitioners with knowledge, skills, and abilities as defined in the educational competency areas, goals, and objectives. Residents who successfully complete PGY1 residency programs will be skilled in diverse patient care, practice management, leadership, and education, and be prepared to provide patient care, seek board certification in pharmacotherapy (i.e., BCPS), and pursue advanced education and training opportunities including postgraduate year two (PGY2) residencies.

Our Health System Residency Program has 6 PGY1 resident positions.  Each resident starts their year at an assigned home base and completes their 3 core learning experiences: Orientation, Internal Medicine and Critical Care at their home base location before beginning to move about the system to complete elective rotational experiences.  Other than the 3 core experiences there are only 2 other required rotational experiences - Transitions of Care and Infectious Diseases. While the rest of the year is composed of electives selected by the resident.

Four longitudinal experiences, Project Management, Staffin, Teaching and Learning and Leadership, enhance the learning completed on the rotational experience.
