Throughout the residency year, the resident will staff one day or night shift a week, every third weekend, and be responsible for at-home call on average 3 nights per month.  The resident will participate in code blue and inpatient code stroke response.  The resident will also have the opportunity to develop communication and teaching skills through providing formal presentations, co-precepting pharmacy students, and completing an optional teaching and learning program. 

Following PGY1 residency training, our resident will be prepared to seek board              certification and will be eligible to apply for PGY2 residency training and to work as a   clinical pharmacist in a community hospital setting.
