PGY2 Ambulatory Care Program

PGY2 residency programs build upon Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency training to develop pharmacist practitioners with knowledge, skills and abilities as defined in the educational competency areas, goals and objectives for advanced practice areas. Residents who successfully complete PGY2 residency programs are prepared for advanced patient care or other specialized positions, and board certification in the advanced practice area, if available.

Parkview Physicians Group

Parkview Physicians Group (PPG) includes over 1,200 providers in more than 40 specialties at 400 locations throughout northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio. Currently, Parkview pharmacists practice in several specialties, including primary care, endocrinology, cardiology, gastroenterology, infectious diseases, oncology and more.

Comprehensive Medication Management Clinic (CMMC)

Parkview’s CMMC, formerly known as the Anticoagulation Therapy Unit (ATU), has provided anticoagulation management to the northeast Indiana region for nearly 30 years. Established in 1995, the clinics complete over 40,000 visits annually, with primary care primarily focused on anticoagulation education and management. Residents will gain exposure to managing warfarin as well as direct oral anticoagulants. Recently, several clinic locations added weight management services, allowing residents additional exposure to medication management in a pharmacist-led clinic.   

Parkview Heart Institute

 As the region’s only dedicated heart hospital, Parkview Heart Institute is focused on prevention, early detection and treatment of heart disease. Outpatient specialty clinics support patients with vascular, valve, hypertension, and genetics-related heart conditions. Pharmacists are integrated in both the inpatient and ambulatory settings, with a focus on heart failure and hypertension in ambulatory clinics.
