Purpose Statement
PGY-2 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in specialized areas of practice. PGY2 residencies provide residents with opportunities to function independently as practitioners by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge and incorporating both into the provision of patient care or other advanced practice settings. Residents who successfully complete an accredited PGY2 pharmacy residency are prepared for advanced patient care, academic, or other specialized positions, along with board certification, if available.
Program Description
The Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center (PMPH) PGY-2 Internal Medicine pharmacy residency program is a twelve-month, postgraduate training program that was established in 2019. The goal of the residency is to build upon Pharm.D. education and PGY-1 residency training to contribute to the development of an Internal Medicine Clinical Pharmacist prepared for clinical practice as an Internal Medicine specialist primarily focused on the adult inpatient population, academic or scholarly endeavors, specialty board certification, and educating in academic and clinical settings.
