The Residency (PGY1 and PGY2) and Fellowship Programs
PHARMACY PRACTICE RESIDENCY PROGRAM
The pharmacy practice residency
program provides training in overall delivery of healthcare with a
major emphasis placed on drug-related issues and prac-tices. During
this one-year program, the resident effectively makes the transition
from student to independent practitioner under guidance from the
clinical faculty. The program also serves to prepare well those
planning further specialized training.
The program’s main goals are to:
• develop competent clinical pharmacists capable of practicing in any setting;
• provide exposure to a diverse scope of pharma- ceutical care services;
• foster leaders in clinical pharmacy practice and education.
