Our program is designed to build upon the PharmD education and outcomes to develop community-based pharmacist practitioners who are eligible to pursue advanced training opportunities including postgraduate year two (PGY2) residencies and professional certifications. Pharmacist residency education and training in community-based practice aims to develop pharmacy leaders who are capable of improving the health of patients within the communities they serve.

The resident will broaden clinical knowledge through active participation in patient care and interactions with experienced preceptors at the site. The resident will play a key role in the implementation, expansion, and enhancement of services. Additional Information:Other resident opportunities include: precepting pharmacy students at the practice site and during outreach events; participating in a Teaching and Learning Certificate program through the BGCOP; staffing requirements; and conducting a practice-based research project along with submission of a manuscript for publication.
