Program Overview
The PGY 1 Pharmacy Residency Program provides a training experience that develops the resident both clinically and professionally. The purpose of the residency program is to develop pharmacists who are self-directed learners possessing clinical expertise, leadership and professional skills, enabling them to excel in diverse practice environments. Upon graduation, the resident will be well prepared to practice as a clinical pharmacist or pursue a specialized PGY 2 residency program.
Residents work with the staff to customize their own educational experience with a mix of required and elective rotations. The Department of Pharmacy operates around the clock with a team of about 25 clinical and 30 supporting staff members.
