Each resident will train with qualified preceptors during the first month of residency. At the conclusion of the orientation period, the designated preceptors and the resident will mutually determine if the resident is ready to function independently as a pharmacist.

As part of the service commitment for PGY2 residents, the following staffing requirements apply:

1. The PGY2 Internal Medicine resident will staff 42 shifts (includes weekend, evening and holiday shifts)

2. PGY2 resident must work 1 holiday

3. Staffing will include a diverse patient population
