The PGY2 residency offered in conjunction with CPHS at Cary Healthcare Associates and Glenaire Retirement Community provides the resident with advanced skills in patient management, therapy modification for special patient groups, acute care triage and chronic disease management. The development of these advanced skills occurs in primary care clinics and pharmacy-managed anticoagulation, lipid, and pharmacotherapy clinics.

The resident will also have involvement in the didactic and clinical training of other health care professionals and students, and gain experience in contributing original research to the professional literature. The program emphasizes providing patient care in Anticoagulation, Asthma, Diabetes Care, Lipid, and Pharmacotherapy clinics associated with medical residency teaching programs and in private practice environments.

The residency consists of a 12-month training program designed to comply with the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) requirements for a PGY2 ambulatory care residency. The resident will identify goals for the residency during the first two weeks of the residency. The remaining eleven months will be planned and devoted to meeting these goals with experiences in the following areas. The amount of time spent in each area will depend on the goals of the resident.
