Program Type: ASHP Accredited PGY2 Residency
ASHP Match Number: 537265

Purpose: Through longitudinal rotations, the resident will gain a broad range of experiences within an academic health-system. This dynamic and expanding area of practice provides clinical services to a diverse group of ambulatory patients. What sets this residency apart is the continuity of care from the physician office practice through the community pharmacy.

Program Overview: Graduates of the residency program are empowered to treat and appropriately triage the most complex chronic and acute illnesses presented by ambulatory patients, including those with multiple disease states and serious complications. This care is delivered from within the context of a long-term health care partnership with the patient that emphasizes health improvement, wellness, and disease prevention. The primary practice sites are pharmacist-run, physician-supervised internal medicine and cardiovascular prevention practices where pharmacists collaborate with physicians and other health care professionals to achieve optimal patient outcomes. Through this PGY2 residency, the resident will develop advanced clinical skills as a primary care pharmacotherapy specialist and enhance teaching, writing, and research skills.
