The LRH PGY1 Pharmacy Residency focused in Ambulatory Care, 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 professional confidence and leadership skills by being actively involved in the multidisciplinary care of patients. The resident will develop expert skills and competency in providing pharmaceutical care to a variety of patient populations in the outpatient and inpatient settings. Outpatient experiences include participation in pharmacist-management of various disease states.
The PGY1 program is comprised of numerous learning experiences including ten required rotations (including one month of Orientation and one month of Research), two elective rotations, and various longitudinal experiences. Click here for learning experience descriptions.
