Pharmacy Practice
General Information:
The Pharmacy Residency Program at The Johns Hopkins Hospital is a 12-month, full-time curriculum that provides residents extensive training opportunities in acute care, ambulatory care, drug information and drug use policy development, clinical services and practice management.
The program offers a variety of experiences designed to enhance the resident's clinical knowledge base, practice and communication skills. The Hopkins program is well-balanced, yet flexible enough to meet your individual needs. Our program benefits from a strong preceptor base, diverse areas of practice excellence and a commitment to residency training that extends to all areas of the institution.
Consistent with the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Commission on Credentialing standards, the pharmacy program at Hopkins is primarily a practical, rather than didactic or classroom experience. Practice skills are developed throughout the training in all aspects of pharmaceutical care.
Purpose:
Individuals who complete a pharmacy practice residency shall be highly qualified independent practitioners able to provide pharmaceutical care in various environments. They shall be responsible for drug therapy outcomes as an integral member of the multi-disciplinary health care team.

Pharmacists completing this program will be capable of conducting their practice with a high level of maturity and leadership, and be able to perform practice-related projects.
