Pharmacy Residency Program

The Post-Graduate Year One (PGY1) Pharmacy Residency at St. Mary’s Medical Center is a 12-month, ASHP accredited program designed to provide postgraduate training in the provision of direct patient care to multiple patient populations.

This individualized training program enables residents to develop effective communication and leadership skills while learning to manage their own clinical pharmacy practice. Residents will complete 6 required rotations and 4 elective rotations.

• Understand the process of medication use review and drug policy development
• Communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing, with other team members
