Pharmacy Residencies

Overview

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
