PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency
The BMCS PGY-1 program is committed to providing residents with diverse training opportunities within an enriched clinical environment. The resident’s training will be tailored to encourage the development of both clinical and leadership skills that will produce competent and confident practitioners equipped to practice anywhere along the spectrum of opportunity that the profession of pharmacy provides whether that be pursuing a PGY-2 or advancing in clinical practice. The residency program director will work with the residents to create an individualized schedule for each resident based on interests and desired experiences. Rotations are designed to provide an evidence-based experience and are generally 4-5 weeks in length while longitudinal rotations are completed throughout the residency year. The resident will be required to fulfill the curriculum requirements: all Core Rotations, 3 Elective Rotations and all Longitudinal Rotations.
