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 advanced or specialized 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).

This 12-month PGY-2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency Program provides residents the opportunity to accelerate their growth beyond entry-level competence in patient-centered care and to further the development of leadership and teaching skills that can be applied in any position and in any practice setting related to ambulatory care. At the end of the residency, the goal is for the resident to practice as an independent ambulatory care practitioner, to be a competent preceptor, and possess the skills necessary to develop their own ambulatory care practice. Activities involving direct patient interaction in an ambulatory setting, physician consultation, teaching, practice management, leadership are major components of this specialized ambulatory care residency. This residency is highly dynamic and customizable, allowing the resident to hone in on specific areas of interest while ensuring an advanced skillset of required/base knowledge is achieved.

The following requirements in service, leadership, management, practice development, and research are designed to enhance and further develop residents’ overall knowledge in order to become clinically and professionally competent practitioners by the end of the residency program.
