This is an organized ASHP accredited postgraduate year one (PGY1) pharmacy residency program directed to focus on the development of knowledge, attitude, and skills needed to become a competent clinical practitioner.

The purpose of this PGY1 pharmacy residency program is to build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and outcomes to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions, eligible for board certification, and eligible for postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency training.

This residency program aims to train pharmacists to provide pharmaceutical care, primarily to ambulatory, geriatric, mental health and long term care patients, participate as a member of the health care team, and provide education of patients, and health professionals. In addition, residents will learn to perform self-monitoring and demonstrate leadership through contributions to performance improvement. Residents will be encouraged to develop an approach to the profession that can lead to life-long learning and career satisfaction.
