PGY1 residency programs build upon Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and outcomes to develop pharmacist practitioners with knowledge, skills and abilities as defined in the educational competency areas, goals and objectives.
Residents who complete PGY1 residency programs will be skilled in diverse patient care, practice management, leadership, and education. They will be prepared to provide patient care, seek board certification in pharmacotherapy (BCPS), and pursue advanced education and training opportunities, including postgraduate year two (PGY2) residencies.
