About the Program
PGY2 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency training to develop pharmacist practitioners with knowledge, skills, and abilities as defined in the educational competency areas, goals, and objectives for advanced practice areas. Residents who successfully complete PGY2 residency programs are prepared for advanced patient care or other specialized positions, and board certification in the advanced practice area, if available.
Purpose
The purpose of the ASHP-accredited PGY2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center is to develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to become a successful Clinical Pharmacy Specialist in Ambulatory Care. The program offers the ability to provide pharmaceutical care to a broad scope of Ambulatory Medicine patients.
Program Outline and Requirements
The following outline represents the general program design and requirements for the PGY2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency Program at UCMC. The program includes a variety of patient care, drug policy/research, leadership, education opportunities and didactic experiences at the University of Cincinnati James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy. The program will be tailored to meet the needs of an individual resident based on the resident development plan.
Diversity Equity and Inclusion
The UC Health Pharmacy Residency Program is committed to not only diversity within our residency program but also fostering an inclusive environment. We have the honor of providing care to a diverse patient population (based on race, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status, etc.) We know and understand that it is important that patients have providers that look like them and that the entire healthcare team is equipped with the cultural humility needed to provide top quality care based on individual needs.
DEI Focus
The focus on DEI efforts within the residency programs aligns with UC Health Strategic Framework (Performance and Culture, Research and Education, Growth and Access, Community Health) and our PRIIDE values. We are partnering with our colleagues at University of Cincinnati College of Pharmacy and College of Medicine to tackle these difficult topics to continue to grow so that we can provide the best care possible to our patients.
