PGY1 Community-Based Pharmacy Residency Program, Dunn and Durham, NC
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.
This postgraduate training has two residency positions to enhance their skill set in the community pharmacy setting. This residency will allow the pharmacist to build on their professional skills by providing a variety of direct patient care services.
At Dunn, NC location, the resident will have a direct influence on patient outcomes for patients who are traditionally underserved in a rural area. Residents will enhance patient care through participation in patient transitions of care appointments, immunization services, and Medication Therapy Management/medication adherence as well as complete rotations in specialty pharmacy and ambulatory care. The resident will also have the chance to expand their leadership skills through partnerships with pharmacy leadership as well as the North Carolina Association of Pharmacy.
At the Durham NC location, the resident will have exposure to a wide variety of disease states that require management with specialty medications, including HIV, oncology, transplant, fertility, cystic fibrosis, and many others. Residents will spend dedicated time with pharmacists within each of these care areas. Additionally, the resident will complete a longitudinal rotation at a traditional Walgreens pharmacy to enhance patient care skills with immunizations, MTM, and health and wellness services. Residents also complete an offsite ambulatory care rotation.
The residency is academically affiliated and financially supported, in part, by the Campbell University College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences. Residency program graduates will be leaders in the pharmacy community and will have an active role in advancing community pharmacy practice.
