The Clinical Pharmacy Residency Program was established in 2022. The program’s main goal is to provide advanced clinical training for pharmacy graduates. This Postgraduate (PGY1) residency is a structured program designed to build upon the undergraduate education level, preparing the residents to learn and develop evidence-based, patient-centered care skills across a wide range of clinical practice areas. The program offers a comprehensive learning experience through a combination of core and elective rotations, enabling residents to develop a strong clinical foundation while exploring areas of individual interest. Learning plans are tailored to each resident’s background, goals, and previous experiences to ensure personalized professional growth. Residents engage in a variety of activities including a major research project, teaching and precepting, patient and staff education, and leadership development. The program emphasizes clinical competence, communication, professionalism, and interprofessional collaboration-skills essential for advancing practice in dynamic healthcare environments. Upon successful completion, residents are awarded a PGY1 Pharmacy Residency Certificate and are well prepared to pursue board certification, advanced clinical positions, or Postgraduate Year Two (PGY2) residency training.
