Plainview Hospital PGY1 Residency Program

Our Institution

Plainview Hospital is a 219-bed acute care community-based facility located on Long Island, New York. Plainview is situated on the boarders of Nassau and Suffolk counties, approximately 30 miles west from New York City. In addition to medical, surgical and critical care programs, Plainview Hospital offers unique opportunities for residents to practice in various areas of acute care within the Northwell Health System, by choosing a four-week elective rotation at our affiliate hospitals throughout Long Island and Manhattan.

Our Program

The postgraduate year one (PGY1) pharmacy residency at Plainview Hospital offers residents the opportunity to accelerate professional growth beyond entry-level proficiency. The 12-month American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) accredited program enhances skills in managing medication-use systems and supports optimal medication therapy outcomes for patients with a broad range of illnesses. Residents will experience unit-based pharmacy practice during the course of each clinical rotation and will be involved in direct patient care. They will work collaboratively with a pharmacist, medical team and other healthcare providers, and will serve as a drug information resource. Rotations will be tailored to the resident’s field of interest and ASHP requirements. This program prepares residents to assume positions as direct patient care clinicians, serve as adjunct or full-time faculty for a college of pharmacy or pursue a PGY2 residency in a focused area of practice.
