The PGY1 pharmacy practice residency at Forsyth Medical Center provides a foundation of diverse experiences in pharmaceutical care and hospital pharmacy practice. The program is designed to be flexible to meet the residents’ professional needs and long term goals. The program preceptors strive to provide an experience that will expose the resident to a variety of practice areas in the acute care environment.
The required rotations include practice management, service leadership and seminar. Service leadership includes an every-third-weekend staffing component where the resident will function as lead pharmacist in order to build upon leadership skills.
The required direct patient care rotations are designed to allow flexibility and give the resident options. The resident may choose two internal medicine rotations (surgery, internal medicine, infectious disease, and psychiatry) and one of the critical care rotations (neurology, cardiology, ICU, neonatology, or emergency medicine). Any of these rotations may be repeated or selected as an elective. The resident will also complete an ambulatory care longitudinal rotation in either the Coumadin Clinic or the Stroke Bridge Clinic.
The resident will complete a research project which will be presented at Southeastern Residency Conference. The resident will also be given support to attend ASHP MidYear Clinical Meeting.
