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 successfully complete PGY1 residency programs will be skilled in diverse patient care, practice management, leadership, and education, and be prepared to provide patient care, seek board certification in pharmacotherapy (i.e., BCPS), and pursue advanced education and training opportunities including postgraduate year two (PGY2) residencies.
Program Overview
The PPMC PGY1 pharmacy residency is a 52 week, postgraduate training program that abides by accreditation standards set forth by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. The goal of this residency is to provide experience to develop competency, knowledge and skills as a clinical pharmacist within a healthcare system in preparation for a PGY2 residency.
The PGY1 Pharmacy Residency at PPMC is an ASHP-accredited program as of 2013. The program was established in 2011 and has continued to grow alongside the Penn Medicine health-system. PPMC currently offers four positions for the PGY1 Pharmacy Residency.
Residents interested in pursuing PGY2 residencies in Ambulatory Care, Critical Care, Emergency Medicine or Infectious Diseases can apply for consideration for early commitment for the respective programs.
