The PGY-1/ PGY-2 health-system pharmacy administration and leadership (HSPAL) residency at Hennepin Healthcare develops students who choose to specialize in pharmacy leadership and who desire to be leaders in the profession. The first-year rotations focus on the PGY-1 requirements, centered on developing a strong clinical foundation and providing introductory management and leadership experiences. The PGY-2 year builds on the PGY-1 graduates’ competence in the delivery of patient-centered care and in pharmacy operations, to prepare residents for leadership responsibilities. Areas of emphasis include safe and effective medication-use processes, quality improvement, the management of human resources, the management of financial resources, use of technology, and advanced leadership. The residency lays the foundation for continued growth in management and leadership skills.

Residents are accountable for various aspects of the medication management process, as members of a collaborative health care team. They develop a strong foundational knowledge of pharmacy systems through rotations in pharmacy operations, clinical management, quality, safety, and administration. Upon graduation, residents are prepared for a mid-level clinical or operational management/supervisory position in a variety of practice settings and focus areas.

Coursework

A master’s degree in Pharmaceutical Science is achieved through didactic coursework via the University of North Carolina Eshelman School of Pharmacy.  Thirty-five total credit hours are required for program achievement which is accomplished through approximately 9 credits per semester. Required courses include Overview to Health Systems, Health-System Pharmacy Leadership, Advanced Hospital Pharmacy Operations and Financial Management of Health-System Pharmacy. Tuition expenses are offset by a tuition stipend.

Residency Rotation Requirements

The goals and objectives of the PGY-1 and PGY-2 program are achieved over two years. These meet the programmatic requirements of a PGY-1 residency and a PGY-2 HSPAL residency. The Residency Program Director (RPD) and preceptors work with the resident on a schedule that meets both their needs, interests and experiences and the requirements of a residency. This is achieved through a combination of required and elective rotations; teaching, precepting, research experiences; and integration of academic coursework with the University of North Carolina.
