Purpose statement
PGY-1 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 PGY-1 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 (PGY-2) residencies.
Program description
The Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center (PMPH) PGY-1 pharmacy residency is a twelve-month, postgraduate training program that was established in 1992 and has been ASHP-accredited since 1993. The goal of the residency is to build upon Pharm.D. education to contribute to the development of a clinical pharmacist responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions and who is eligible for board certification and/or PGY-2 pharmacy residency training.
Penn Medicine Princeton Health, located in Central New Jersey, is part of the University of Pennsylvania Health System. The residency program involves learning experiences at Princeton Medical Center, located in Plainsboro, NJ, and Princeton House Behavioral Health, located in Princeton, NJ. While Princeton Medical Center has been in existence since 1919, the current cutting-edge campus was opened in 2012 to accommodate the expanding needs of the area.
