Pharmacy Residency Program

Pharmacy Residencies

The purpose of postgraduate pharmacy residency training is to prepare pharmacists for practice. A Postgraduate Year One (PGY1) Pharmacy Residency is designed to provide experience working with a wide range of patients, while a Postgraduate Year Two (PGY2) Residency is designed to build upon PGY1 competencies and to focus in a particular area of practice or take care of particular types of patients. Residency training also offers other advantages:

• A competitive advantage in the job market, as more and more employers recognize the value of residency training
• Networking opportunities to establish or expand professional acquaintances and contacts, including preceptors and other residents
• Career planning, as most residents gain a clearer picture of what type of practice best suits them
