The PGY2 Psychiatric Pharmacy Residency Program offers specialized learning experiences at McLean Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital aimed at enhancing education in psychopharmacology and clinical pharmacy practice. Our mission is to develop residents’ clinical skills through a combination of inpatient and outpatient rotations, precepting pharmacy learners, conducting clinical research, and engaging in interdisciplinary education. 

Aligned with the American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP) curriculum, this residency provides an opportunity for residents to build upon their Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and PGY1 experience, preparing them for independent clinical practice. Graduates will be well-equipped for clinical pharmacist roles in patient care, academia, or other specialized positions, as well as eligibility for board certification in psychiatric pharmacy.

To be eligible to apply, applicants must be graduates of an ACPE-accredited school of pharmacy with a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree and completed an ASHP-accredited PGY1 residency program. Applications should be submitted via PhORCAS and must include a formal letter of intent, curriculum vitae, three standardized references completed through PhORCAS, and official pharmacy school transcripts and undergraduate transcripts (if applicable). The deadline for receipt of a completed PhORCAS application is January 5th, 2026. Upon completion of application reviews, candidates will be contacted regarding interviews. The PGY2 Psychiatric Pharmacy Residency Program participates in the ASHP Resident Matching Program. 

International applicants are welcome to apply if they are eligible to work in the United States from July 2026 - June 2027 and will be considered based on the merits of the candidate's application. McLean Hospital Department of Pharmacy is unable to sponsor H1B Visas.
