PGY1/PGY2 program purpose: The purpose of the PGY1/PGY2 Health-System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership Residency at Prisma Health Richland Hospital is to build upon the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and contribute to the development of well-rounded clinicians responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of health conditions. The second year of the program expands upon the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and PGY1 experiences to facilitate the development of effective pharmacy practice leaders. The second year provides residents with opportunities to function independently by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge and incorporating both into the provision of patient care and pharmacy practice leadership. Residents who successfully complete this residency are prepared for a clinical or operational management/supervisory role.
