The PGY1/PGY2 HSPAL Residency Program at Regional One Health is an accredited residency by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. This 24-month (4,000 hour minimum) program is composed of advanced pharmacy experiences in patient care and pharmacy management. Residents achieve professional competence in the delivery of patient-centered care services and extensive ambulatory and inpatient pharmacy management. The program purpose is to build on Doctor of Pharmacy education and outcomes to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions, eligible for board certification, and to prepare the candidate for supervisory roles in pharmacy management. To fulfill these requirements, the resident will complete our PGY1 program and, during the second year, focus on practice management. Experiences will include:

• 340B Optimization
• Acute Care Operations
• Ambulatory Care Operations
• Clinical Management
• Health System Pharmacy Financial Performance
• Information Technology
• Inpatient Pharmacy Operations
• Management of Pharmacy Human Resources
• Medication Safety
• Medication Use Policy
• Outpatient Pharmacy Operations
• Specialty Pharmacy
• Supply Chain Management
• Technology and Automated Systems

During each experience, the resident is expected to perform independently and demonstrate a high level of proficiency. Operational managers and staff members with practice responsibilities in these areas serve as preceptors for the training experiences. Residents will spend required months in practice management, medication management policy, operational services, finance, and human resources, with three months of electives. Three elective experiences permit the resident to expand abilities and skills in areas of particular interest. The broad scope of pharmacy services offered provides flexibility to pursue individual goals. 

During the program, the resident must complete a self-directed research project in the first year and an additional management project in the second year. The scope, magnitude, and type of project may vary widely according to individual interests but must be completed in a manner suitable for presentation and publication. The resident presents the research project at a regional residency conference in the spring of each year and submits an abstract for publication.

The residents participate in the University of Tennessee Pharmacy Educator Academy during the first year. This program and other educational components of the residency program enables the resident to develop teaching and training skills by participating in education programs for patients, pharmacy students, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other allied health practitioners.
