St. Vincent Evansville Pharmacy Residency

PGY1 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and outcomes to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions. The program will ensure residents are eligible for board certification and postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency training. The PGY1 pharmacy residency will provide training experiences in the fundamentals of pharmacy practice in an integrated health system. Residents will gain experience in a variety of patient care settings including general medicine, critical care, nephrology, pediatrics and infectious disease. While developing competence to provide patient-centered care, PGY1 residents will acquire substantial knowledge for skillful problem-solving and strengthen their professional values. An individualized training plan based on the resident’s baseline level of knowledge, skills and interests will be developed at the beginning of the year. Along with clinical activities, residents will be required to staff the central pharmacy and complete year-long research projects.
