Pharmacy Residency Programs

Thank you for your interest in the pharmacy residency programs at Baptist Medical Center South. As you explore our website, we hope you'll see that we are a forward-thinking organization with abundant opportunities as we work to fulfill our mission in Central Alabama.

Baptist Medical Center South offers two on-site pharmacy residency programs: a PGY-1 program established in 2014 and a PGY-2 program in emergency medicine, which will welcome its first class in 2025. Our programs provide pharmacy residents with the chance to train in advanced clinical settings, preparing them for further training or clinical practice after graduation. We have designed our programs to allow residents to pursue their interests and goals through highly customizable schedules, tailoring the program to their specific interests.

What Baptist Medical Center South Has to Offer 

Baptist Medical Center South is a licensed 492-bed, not-for-profit, faith-based acute care regional referral center. It is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (TJC). Since its founding in 1963, Baptist Medical Center South has grown to become Montgomery's largest healthcare facility and Baptist Health's tertiary care center, offering exceptional specialty services and treatment.

Our decentralized model facilitates active engagement with all members of the healthcare team.
