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.
A family atmosphere
Since 1974, Nebraska Medicine has continued its rich tradition and commitment of advancing our profession through the training and education of pharmacy residents as future leaders. Through excellence and innovation, we strive to evolve our program and provide the best training environment possible. We are genuinely invested in the success of each resident, and our unique family atmosphere contributes to the professional and personal development of all residents.
The goal of the 54-week program is to equip each resident with the skills needed to enter a postgraduate year two residency or a practice position in an acute care setting
