The PGY1 / PGY2 Health-System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership (HSPAL) Residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) is a 24-month post-Doctor of Pharmacy training program that fulfills the requirements of both a PGY1 Pharmacy Residency and a PGY2 HSPAL Residency. HSPAL residents will further cultivate their leadership and administrative skills by completing a two-year Master of Science (MS) degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a specialization in Health-System Pharmacy Administration from the University of North Carolina (UNC), Eshelman School of Pharmacy.
PGY1
During the resident’s PGY1 year, the individual will be part of the HUP PGY1 cohort to develop a solid clinical foundation and service line knowledge.
PGY2
In the second year of the program, the HSPAL resident will build upon the PGY1 residency competencies in the delivery of patient-centered care and in pharmacy operational services to prepare residents to assume high-level managerial, supervisory, and leadership responsibilities. Areas of competence emphasized during the program include advanced leadership, safe and effective medication-use systems, quality assurance and improvement, the management of human resources, the management of financial resources, and use of technology. Residents have opportunity to train in all areas of an academic medical center including inpatient, ambulatory, retail and specialty pharmacy. Upon graduation, residents will be prepared for a clinical or operational management/supervisory role within the pharmacy enterprise in a large academic medical center.
