Each resident undergoes an Orientation and Training learning experience that focuses on operational functions, which are the backbone of pharmacy services.

Following the Orientation and Training learning experience, residents complete six required and three elective learning experiences. These experiences are flexible and based on each PGY-1 resident’s interests. Each learning experience lasts approximately five weeks, with the exception of required Ambulatory experience (four weeks) and NICU (three weeks).
