Pharmacy Residencies

The purpose of postgraduate pharmacy residency training is to prepare pharmacists for practice. A Postgraduate Year One (PGY1) Pharmacy Residency is designed to provide experience working with a variety of patients, while a Postgraduate Year Two (PGY2) Residency is designed to build upon PGY1 competencies and to focus in a particular area of practice or take care of particular types of patients. Residency training also offers other advantages:

• A competitive advantage in the job market, as more and more employers recognize the value of residency training
• Networking opportunities to establish or expand professional acquaintances and contacts, including preceptors and other residents
• Career planning, as most residents gain a clearer picture of what type of practice best suits them

Statement on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

“The University Health pharmacy residency program is committed to cultivating an environment of acceptance and belonging through our support and celebration of all backgrounds, experiences, and abilities, and by recruiting residents and preceptors who place importance on the pillars of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We firmly believe that discrimination and inequity towards any community, group, or individual is unacceptable and against the values of our health system, including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism. We strive to seek out a diversity of experiences, perspectives, and ideas in our team to better provide world-class care to all patients. You are welcomed and valued at University Health!”
