Ambulatory Care PGY2 Pharmacy Residency

PGY2 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 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.

Residents are held responsible for the following ASHP required competencies and elective competencies.

• Patient Care (R1)
• Advancing Practice and Improving Patient Care (R2)
• Leadership and Management (R3)
• Teaching, Education, and Dissemination of Knowledge (R4)
• Specialty Pharmacy (E5)
• Delivery of Medications (E8)
