Pharmacy Practice Residency

PGY1 Residencies

Program Overview

During each experience, the resident is expected to perform independently and demonstrate proficiency in pharmacy practice. Clinical staff members with practice responsibilities in these areas serve as preceptors for the training experiences. Three elective experiences permit the resident to expand abilities and skills in areas of particular interest. The broad scope of pharmacy services offered provides flexibility to pursue individual goals.

During the program, the resident must complete a self-directed research project. The scope, magnitude and type of project may vary widely according to individual interests but must be completed in a manner suitable for presentation and publication. The resident presents the research project at a regional residency conference in the spring.

The education component of the program enables the resident to develop teaching and training skills by participating in education programs for patients, pharmacy students, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other allied health practitioners.
