PGY1 Pharmacy Residency (Ambulatory Care) Greenville

Developing ambulatory care pharmacists

This PGY1 Pharmacy Residency (37314) program takes place in the Ambulatory Care service line of Prisma Health in Greenville, SC.

PGY1 Purpose

"PGY1 residency programs build upon Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and outcomes to develop pharmacist practitioners with knowledge, skills, and abilities as defined in the educational competency areas, goals, and objectives. Residents who successfully complete PGY1 residency programs will be skilled in diverse patient care, practice management, leadership, and education, and be prepared to provide patient care, seek board certification in pharmacotherapy (i.e., BCPS), and pursue advanced education and training opportunities including postgraduate year two (PGY2) residencies."

Program overview

This PGY1 Residency Program looks to develop well-rounded ambulatory care focused clinicians with expertise in a wide range of conditions and practice settings. Though the majority of the experiences are in the outpatient setting, we layer in some inpatient experiences.

While the outpatient experiences build the resident’s skills and confidence to care for patients longitudinally, the inpatient experiences provide insight on patient transitions of care and pharmacy services in an acute setting. We believe that offering a variety of experiences gives the resident a big picture perspective to navigate care for their patients, see opportunities for improved collaboration between outpatient and inpatient settings, and to develop a network of colleagues in a variety of settings.
