We provide clinical and administrative training for pharmacists suitable for entry into a patient care role as a clinical pharmacist and to sit for board certification. Starting next year for the class of 2027, we are expanding to two PGY2 Ambulatory Care residents.
Required learning experiences include primary care, bariatrics and endocrinology, specialty pharmacy, anticoagulation clinic, and system & practice management. Elective opportunities (select two) include oncology, transplant, pediatrics, value-based care, vulnerable populations (HIV clinic and LGBTQ+ clinic) and medication safety. Other elective learning experiences may be developed based on resident interest and preceptor availability. Residents are also given the opportunity to develop and enhance their practice management and leadership skills through focused departmental responsibilities. There is no longitudinal staffing component to this residency program.
Graduates of the Inova Health System PGY2 Ambulatory Pharmacy Residency program will be empowered to treat and manage patients from complex chronic illnesses to routine ambulatory concerns. Emphasis is placed on the delivery of care for the entire patient, with graduates being well equipped to function as an integrated member of the interdisciplinary team. In addition, the resident will acquire the experiences necessary to exercise leadership in ambulatory pharmacy practice at a local and health-care system level and provide experiential and didactic education to a variety of healthcare professionals and those training to be healthcare professionals.
