PGY1 Pharmacy Residency

The LRH PGY1 Pharmacy Residency builds on the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and outcomes to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions, eligible for board certification, and eligible for postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency training.

The PGY1 Pharmacy Residency is an organized, directed postgraduate training program designed to accommodate the needs of individual residents. Over the course of twelve months, the resident will develop expert skills and competency in providing pharmaceutical care to a variety of patient populations. The PGY1 residency program strives to provide flexibility in order to tailor the experience to the resident’s interests through a variety of rotational experiences. Residents will obtain professional confidence and leadership skills by being actively involved in the multidisciplinary care of patients.

The PGY1 program is comprised of a vast range of learning experiences including nine required rotations (including one month of Orientation and one month of Research), three elective rotations, and various longitudinal experiences. Click here for learning experience descriptions.
