The Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy and Western University PGY1 Community-Based Pharmacy Residency Program delivers postgraduate training to pharmacists so that they can advocate for patient care for the members of their community, achieve their professional goals, become a leader within the profession, and contribute to advancements in healthcare.
