PGY1 Community Residency
UIC (PGY1)
The UIC Community Pharmacy Residency seeks to provide the resident with an array of experiences at cutting edge outpatient pharmacies and clinics at the University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences Center in Chicago.
While in the outpatient pharmacies, the resident will hone their counseling skills in the areas of contraception, transplant, diabetes, asthma, cardiovascular diseases, pain, and infectious disease. The resident will have the opportunity to develop patient care programs in the pharmacies as they deem appropriate for their patient population.
In addition, the resident will spend 2 days a week rotating through the Ambulatory Care Clinics at UIC. This will help the resident gain a great deal of practical clinical knowledge, improve communication skills, and provide excellent pharmaceutical care.
Other time will be spent doing didactic teaching, as well as precepting first-year through fourth-year student pharmacists at their practice sites.

UIC-Dominick's Pharmacy (PGY1)
The goal of the Dominick's Pharmacy and University of Illinois at Chicago-College of Pharmacy Community Pharmacy Residency Program is to educate and train a pharmacist to independently provide pharmaceutical care in the community setting with complimentary abilities to innovate, market, and cost-justify contemporary patient care services. Patient care services include, but are not limited to: diabetes, asthma, dyslipidemia, hypertension, smoking cessation, and immunizations. The resident gains additional clinical exposure at the University's outpatient clinics and has the opportunity to develop skills as an educator and public speaker through lectures to pharmacy students and college faculty. The remaining portion of the resident's training is concentrated on provision of pharmaceutical care, management, and special interests.
