Residency Showcase Program Listings

The VA Black Hills Health Care System is located in the beautiful Black Hills of western South Dakota, where we are known for our blue skies, pine forests, rich history, moderate climate and friendly western hospitality.  VA Black Hills provides primary and secondary medical and surgical care, along with residential rehabilitation treatment program (RRTP) services, extended nursing home care and tertiary psychiatric inpatient care services, for veterans residing in South Dakota and portions of Nebraska, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana. Care is delivered through the Fort Meade (near Sturgis) and Hot Springs VA Medical Centers, as well as through a number of community-based outpatient and rural outreach clinics.

The VA Black Hills PGY1 Pharmacy Residency will train pharmacists in the setting of a large, rural VA health care system. While both inpatient and outpatient learning experiences are required during this program, pharmacist involvement in ambulatory care is broad.  An elective teaching certificate program is available which equips residents to pursue a position in an academic setting.  Feedback from both residents and preceptors is valued and used to proactively customize each resident’s experience.
