PGY1 Pharmacy Residency

Program Purpose

PGY1 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and outcomes to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions, eligible for board certification and eligible for postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency training.

Program Description

The PGY1 Pharmacy Residency creates an environment to promote refined problem-solving strategies, strong professional values and growth through supervised practice under the guidance of model practitioners. Residents will be responsible for acquiring outcome-based competencies for the management and optimization of the medication-use process; providing evidence-based, patient-centered medication therapy management with interdisciplinary teams; and exercising leadership and practice management. Residents will also focus on demonstrating project management skills and utilizing medical informatics.

Program Structure

The program director will develop an experiential plan at the beginning of the program for each resident. The experiential component shall consist of the following core or elective learning experiences (see image below). The needs of the resident and the attributes of the residency program will be utilized in the development of the plan. Additional electives may be available based on the resident’s interests.

PGY 1 Pharmacy Residency

The PGY 1 Pharmacy Residency is designed to accelerate the resident’s growth beyond entry-level professional competence in pharmacy services and to further develop leadership skills.  The residency offers an environment for accelerating growth beyond entry-level professional competence through supervised practice under the guidance of model practitioners.  Residents will be held responsible and accountable for acquiring outcome-based competencies for the managing and improving the medication-use process, providing evidence-based, patient-centered medication therapy management with  interdisciplinary teams, exercising leadership and practice management, demonstrating project management skills, providing medication and practice-related education/training and utilizing medical informatics.  The PGY 1 Pharmacy Residency graduates will possess competencies that enable success as general clinicians.  Graduates are prepared to enter general clinical practice, PGY2 residency or a fellowship program.

Please feel free to contact either Kaitlin Kennedy, PharmD or Logan Pickett, PharmD if you have questions about our program.

  • Staffing Component

    Staffing commitment shall be a total of 274 hours during the residency year (average of every third weekend) and is divided into two categories. Each PGY1 resident will staff every fourth weekend in the outpatient pharmacy for a total of 144 hours. The remainder of the staffing requirement (130 hours) is completed on any shift or combination of hours and may consist of any practice area within the department.

  • Education Opportunities

    A teaching certificate is offered in conjunction with Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Pharmacy. Residents will also have the opportunity to interact and precept pharmacy students, participate in Grand Rounds and collaborate on quality improvement projects.

    Each resident is assigned to a Pharmacy Scholarly Oversight Committee to provide support and mentorship for the longitudinal research project. This committee will allow the resident to create and maintain realistic deadlines and goals to complete a successful project and develop a manuscript for publication submission.
