PGY1 Pharmacy Residency Program


About The Program

This program emphasizes flexibility to select learning experiences that will complement the residents’ backgrounds and career goals. Prior to orientation, the program director will create a personalized development plan for each resident based on current interests and desired experiences. This personalized plan may be altered as residents progress through the program if interests or career goals change. Rotations are generally 5 weeks in length and are structured to provide evidence-based educational experiences tailored to the individual residents.
