PGY1 Residencies

Objectives

The objectives of the PGY1 Residency Program at The Regional Medical Center are to provide systematic training of the resident for the purpose of achieving professional competence in the delivery of patient-centered care in a wide variety of patient care settings and in pharmacy operational services. PGY1 residents acquire substantial knowledge required for skillful problem solving, refine their problem-solving strategies, strengthen their professional values and attitudes, and advance the growth of their clinical judgment. The instructional emphasis is on the progressive development of clinical judgment, a process begun during professional school years, but that requires further extensive practice, self-reflection, and shaping of decision-making skills fostered by feedback on performance. The specific program for each resident may vary in structure based upon the resident's entry level of knowledge, skills and interest. The PGY1 Residency Program is accredited by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists.

The 12-month (2,000 hour minimum) program is composed of advanced pharmacy experience. Residents receive training and develop competence in managing and improving the medication-use process; providing evidence-based, patient-centered medication therapy management with interdisciplinary teams; exercise leadership and practice management skills; demonstrate project management skills; provide medication and practice-related education/training; and utilize informatics. To fulfill these requirements, practice experiences are offered in:
