PGY2 pharmacy residency program
The Health System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership (HSPAL) PGY2 pharmacy residency program builds on PGY1 residency outcomes to prepare pharmacists to assume high level leadership, management, and supervisory responsibilities. The HSPAL Residency is a comprehensive program that emphasizes the development of leadership and management abilities, with the goal of fostering growth and learning in future pharmacy leaders. After a month-long orientation to the Department of Pharmacy, the resident begins a series of concentrated and longitudinal learning activities designed to meet the goals and objectives of the HSPAL residency program. The resident will interact with leaders from division, throughout the department of pharmacy, the hospital and senior leadership. The program's goal is to develop the resident into a competent and confident professional in core areas of pharmacy leadership excellence.
