Our pharmacy residency programs
Our PGY1 pharmacy residency programs are highly competitive.
Hands-on clinical experiences
Become part of the largest healthcare organization in the nation. Augment your classroom knowledge and develop your skills in real-world situations within a structured clinical setting.
During your clinical rotations, you'll assume increasing levels of responsibility for your patients. A skilled preceptor will guide you as you perform medication use assessment and monitoring, attend rounds, provide patient education, answer questions about medications and participate in clinical projects.
Technologically progressive
Our programs operate within clinically progressive pharmacy departments. We offer advanced technologies, such as:
- Off-site pharmacist order entry
- Computerized physician order entry
- Automated IV manufacture
- Automated point-of-care dispensing cabinets with Bio-ID
- Electronic barcode medication administration
National matching services participation
