Community-Based PGY1 Pharmacy Residency

Henry Ford Health offers a one-year Community-Based pharmacy residency program designed to provide balanced experiences in a variety of specialty, mail-order, community, and ambulatory pharmacy services. Our mission is to develop highly skilled pharmacy practitioners empowered to optimize patient care, develop clinical skills, and excel in advancing pharmacy practice in the community setting.

Pharmacists completing this residency experience will be prepared to provide patient care at a level beyond that of a practitioner without postgraduate training. They will be skilled in educating other health care professionals, students, and patients, and will exemplify professionalism both in philosophy and by example.

ASHP PGY1 Purpose

PGY1 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 PGY1 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 (PGY2) residencies.
