PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency Program

Program overview:

The pharmacy department at Stony Brook University Medical Center offers 4 positions for the post-graduate year one (PGY1) twelve-month residency program.  The primary goal of the Stony Brook University Hospital pharmacy residency program is to train and develop residents who possess in-depth knowledge and skills in clinical pharmacy practice. The primary emphasis of the pharmacy practice residency is the development of a wide spectrum of practice skills in medicine, critical care, drug information, pharmacokinetics, infectious disease, clinical pharmacy, and staff pharmacy.  Secondary goals of the program are to develop knowledge and skills in comprehensive pharmacy practice.  Comprehensive pharmacy practice knowledge and skills refer to pharmacy administration, professional practice, and current issues.  Teaching opportunities include taking the lead in clinical clerkships, facilitating small group discussions, and presenting formal ACPE-accredited Continuing Education programs throughout the year.
