About Our Programs
Our pharmacy residency programs offer diverse and enriching learning opportunities tailored to develop clinical expertise and leadership skills. The PGY1 General Residency provides a solid foundation in patient-centered care, medication management, and operational excellence. For those seeking advanced specialization, the PGY2 Critical Care Residency focuses on managing complex, critically ill patients in intensive care settings, while the PGY2 Infectious Disease Residency emphasizes antimicrobial stewardship, the treatment of infectious diseases, and research. Across all programs, residents engage in interdisciplinary collaboration, preceptorship opportunities, and hands-on clinical experiences designed to prepare them for successful careers in pharmacy practice.
