About the Program
The PGY2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency Program is based at Hartford Hospital. The PGY2 Resident will complete learning experiences in anticoagulation, HIV management, cardiometabolic clinic, primary care, and ambulatory care pharmacy leadership. The resident will also complete a research project, design and present an ACPE-accredited continuing education program, and complete a business plan related to a new or expansion of ambulatory care services. The resident will then implement the business plan as their service project.
Residency Program Purpose
PGY2 residency programs build upon Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency training to develop pharmacist practitioners with knowledge, skills, and abilities as defined in the educational competency areas, goals, and objectives for advanced practice areas. Residents who successfully complete PGY2 residency programs are prepared for advanced patient care or other specialized positions, and board certification in the advanced practice area, if available.
