PGY1 Pharmacy Residency at South Miami Hospital
The Pharmacy Postgraduate Year One (PGY1) Residency at South Miami Hospital is a 52-week training program accredited by the American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP). The program is designed to develop advanced skills in the areas of internal medicine, infectious diseases, critical care, and neonatology. The residency builds on previous education and experience and is geared towards developing expert knowledge and skills in managing medication-use systems and optimizing drug therapy.
The resident is integrated into the provision of comprehensive and advanced pharmacy services. During this training, residents will have the opportunity to co-precept Doctor of Pharmacy candidates from various pharmacy schools and are also required to provide various presentations throughout their learning experiences. The program is designed to train the graduate with the competencies that enable attainment of PGY2 specialty residency training, if desired, and/or board certification in Pharmacotherapy Specialty, as well as achievement of a desired position in the field of pharmacy.
With PGY1 residents working side by side with numerous pharmacy students and more than 70 full-time employees, our program offers a customized yet standardized approach, preparing clinically skilled pharmacists to work effectively and collaboratively with multiple levels of pharmacy personnel. Residents receive training in optimal medication therapy management/utilization, quality improvement, and research, while developing leadership and team-building skills through collaboration on interdisciplinary teams. We provide a high-tech and personalized patient-and family-centered environment coupled with excellence in quality-of-care measures and patient satisfaction scores.
Our program’s vision is to develop the resident into an effective confident clinician and educator, and to enhance professional and clinical skills.
