Cencora and Henry Ford Hospital are excited to offer this new Combined PGY1 Pharmacy & PGY2 Corporate Pharmacy Administration and Leadership (CPAL) with Masters residency. This innovative program has been strategically crafted to prepare residents for success as a future pharmacy leader in corporate pharmacy, specializing in pharmacy supply chain management.
The resident will undergo comprehensive PGY1 health systems training, completing their PGY1 Pharmacy residency at Henry Ford Hospital, followed by a PGY2 in Corporate Pharmacy Administration and Leadership (CPAL) with Cencora (formerly AmerisourceBergen). The PGY2 year will be completed remotely while being physically located at the PGY1 health system.
The PGY1 residency program at Henry Ford Hospital will develop the resident into a well-rounded practitioner. Henry Ford Hospital is an 807 bed, tertiary care, teaching hospital and is part of the Henry Ford Health. The PGY1 at Henry Ford is part of a large training program (20 residents/year, 1 fellow/year) offering a variety of rotation options. Rotations are available in internal medicine, general cardiology, infectious disease, nephrology, SICU, MICU, cardiac ICU, cardiothoracic ICU, neurology ICU, solid organ transplant (kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas), drug information/medication safety, inpatient oncology, antimicrobial stewardship, pharmacy administration, transition of care, inpatient anticoagulation, outcomes/IT and nutrition support. Clinic experiences include hemodialysis, anticoagulation, HIV, oncology, pulmonology, internal medicine and general diabetes. While the resident can develop strong clinical skills in a variety of practice settings, areas of strength include infectious disease, critical care, cardiology, solid organ transplant and oncology.
The PGY2 Corporate Pharmacy Administration and Leadership (CPAL) residency at Cencora is designed to build upon the resident’s patient-centered care and operational experiences. It prepares residents to assume high-level managerial, supervisory, and leadership roles in the corporate sector, with a specialized focus on supply chain management. During the PGY2-year, residents will acquire in-depth knowledge and engage in essential supply chain activities pivotal to pharmacy practice. These activities include pharmacy supply chain principles, understanding the stakeholder ecosystem, wholesaler distribution and economics, health system leadership, drug shortage strategies, inventory management, 340B contracting, and medication cost management strategies. Additionally, the resident will pursue a master’s degree as part of this innovative two-year program.
Residents will be employees of the PGY1 health system for the first year of the program and are subject to all resident requirements, policies and procedures, and benefits as outlined for PGY1 residents in that health system. Residents become Cencora employees for the PGY2 year, and are subject to all resident requirements, policies and procedures, and benefits as outlined for Cencora pharmacy residents.
