Boston Medical Center currently offers 15 total positions in 7 different pharmacy residency programs. There are 8 PGY1 residents (traditional, non-traditional and international tracks) and  6 PGY2 specialty programs in Ambulatory Care (2), Critical Care, Emergency Medicine, Infectious Diseases, Internal Medicine, and Oncology. The 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 that improves medication therapy. Residents who successfully complete an accredited PGY2 pharmacy residency should possess competencies that qualify them for clinical pharmacist and/or faculty positions and position them to be eligible for attainment of board certification in the specialized practice area (when board certification for the practice area exists).
