About the PGY1 Community Residency Program affiliated with PureCare Pharmacy:

The purpose of this one-year, postgraduate training program in community practice is to build upon the doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) education and outcomes to develop community-based pharmacist practitioners with diverse patient care, leadership, and education skills who are eligible to pursue advanced training opportunities including postgraduate year two (PGY2) residencies and professional certifications.

The UC San Diego PGY1 Community Residency is a collaborative program between UC San Diego SSPPS and PureCare Pharmacy. Residents will have shared learning experiences at both UC San Diego Health and PureCare Pharmacy.  Residents will gain entrepreneurial experience working in an independent pharmacy while honing clinical skills at UC San Diego clinical sites.
