PGY1 & PGY2 Health System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership 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 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.

Parkview will provide a PGY1-PGY2 HSPAL resident with the training and skills to take on a leadership role in a variety of settings.

The resident will practice within the main campus (Parkview Regional Medical Center) with opportunities to practice in other patient care locations in the region, including the centralized distribution center or the pharmacy corporate office.
