The Geisinger Lewistown Hospital PGY1 Residency is accredited by the American Society of Health System Pharmacy (ASHP). Our program welcomed its first PGY1 residents in the 2020–2021 academic year and we are recruiting new PGY1 residents for the 2025–2026 academic year. 

Geisinger Lewistown Hospital is a 133-bed rural hospital in Mifflin County, serving more than 80,000 patients in central Pennsylvania. Since 2021, it has been consistently named one of the nation’s top 100 rural and community hospitals by the Chartis Group. And Geisinger Lewistown Hospital has repeatedly earned a 5-Star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services since 2021.

When you’re a resident, you’re part of the Geisinger family. That means you’ll collaborate with providers on site and throughout the Geisinger system. As a clinical pharmacist, you will practice at the top of your license to contribute to acute care, ambulatory care, specialty pharmacy and research. Your curriculum is customized to help you with personal and professional goals. Watch our resident testimonial video! GME - WEST. (vimeo.com)
