The PGY2 Ambulatory Care Residency at Nebraska Medicine offers a unique and stimulating learning environment that provides comprehensive clinical training in ambulatory care pharmacy practice. A resident completing this program will be a competent practitioner in the care of ambulatory patients and will be qualified to function as a highly skilled ambulatory care practitioner within a health system or academic setting. The goals and objectives for this program align with ASHP Ambulatory Care PGY2 Accreditation Standards.
The resident will be integrally involved with health care professionals throughout the continuum of patient care, including patient assessment, education, and therapeutic recommendations. Working with experienced pharmacy clinicians, the resident also will gain experience serving as a preceptor for PGY1 pharmacy residents and pharmacy students. Residents will provide compassionate, evidence-based, progressive medical care. The program allows tailored instruction for the individual based on interest and past experiences.
