Ascension Saint Thomas Midtown
Pharmacy Residency
About Us
The purpose of this PGY1 residency is to build on Pharm.D. education and outcomes to contribute to the development of a clinical pharmacist responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions, eligible for board certification, and eligible for postgraduate year 2 (PGY2) pharmacy residency training.
The ASTM PGY1 program is a twelve month, post-graduate training experience composed of discrete core rotations, a variety of elective rotations, and yearlong longitudinal projects including a research project, a formal Journal Club presentation, drug information projects, a CE seminar, and a formal Medication Use Evaluation.
The residency program will provide each resident with specific learning and practice experiences designed to enable the resident to expand the scope of his or her practice skills. These experiences will be varied in nature, but with an overall emphasis on patient care.
Upon completion of the pharmacy practice residency program, the resident should be capable of functioning as a competent pharmacist and be able to transform his or her accumulated experiences and knowledge into new and improved patient care services to ensure pharmaceutical care for the patient.
