PGY1 Community-Based Residency

Overview

IU Health Pre-Candidate PGY1 Community Based Pharmacy Residency Program emphasizes the development of advanced knowledge and application of pharmacotherapeutics in outpatient and ambulatory care settings. This program cultivates the skills of practice management and education and the professional attitudes of self-evaluation, self-improvement, and accountability. The successful resident will demonstrate a desire to learn, sincere interest in the profession, and dedication to achieving all outcomes of the residency.

The ASHP accreditation standard provides criteria that every program must meet in order to receive and maintain accreditation. Although the standard requires experiences in certain core areas, there is room for concentration in a practice area and for additional experiences. Our program includes developing a core skill set in understanding third party payers and their impact on implementing care plans. In addition, focus will be placed on project based research and team functioning, presentation development and delivery, and direct patient interaction.
