PGY2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency Program
Purpose
PGY2 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in specialized areas of practice. PGY2 residencies provide residents with opportunities to function independently as practitioners by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge and incorporating both into the provision of patient care or other advanced practice settings. Residents who successfully complete an accredited PGY2 pharmacy residency are prepared for advanced patient care, academic, or other specialized positions, along with board certification, if available.
Additional Program Description
MUSC Health's PGY-2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency Program provides unique opportunities for residents within our academic medical center. Close collaborative ties with the Medical University of South Carolina College of Pharmacy provide ample teaching opportunities for residents, including participation and completion of an Academic Preparation Program (optional). The resident's research experienced is also enhanced through established research programs and additionally offers the Pharmacy Residency Research Certificate Program. Residents are afforded ample opportunities to practice in ambulatory settings delivering advanced patient care. Residents will also be exposed to emerging areas of practice, including telehealth and specialty pharmacy.
