Providence is proud to offer a PGY1/PGY2 Health-System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership (HSPAL) Residency. This residency will combine the current PGY1 residency at Providence Portland Medical Center with a second year experience with a robust Regional Pharmacy Leadership Team within a large integrated health-system.
The PGY1 component of the residency has a strong reputation across the
country. Most recently, Providence won the
ASHP Pharmacy Residency Excellence Award. The PGY1 Pharmacy Practice Residency program has been accredited by ASHP
since 1994, offering residents the opportunity to participate in collaborative,
integrated care in health system pharmacy practice. Residents apply advanced
practice-based skills, expand leadership skills, participate in professional
organizations, and participate in innovative approaches to delivery of
care. Providence Portland Medical Center has implemented pharmacy student/resident/attending
pharmacist teams on each of the core clinical services lines, modeled
after the medical education model. The teams work collaboratively with
health care practitioners to provide patient care and improve medication
management across transitions in care. The PGY1 Pharmacy Practice Residency
program provides broad experience and confidence in practice-based skills
across diverse practice settings while offering the opportunity to obtain
focused experience in areas of interest.
The PGY2 component of the residency will offer a resident a unique experience to be intimately involved on the Regional Pharmacy Leadership Team. The resident will be exposed to pharmacy leaders in all levels (hospital, regional and system, for example) of health-system pharmacy administration. Being the only HSPAL resident will allow flexibility based on each resident’s career interest. Rotations may include:
Residents also participate in the Portland CityWide Residency Conferences, have the opportunity to pursue the Oregon Pharmacy Teaching Certificate (OPTC) with local Colleges of Pharmacy, and gain valuable leadership and practice management skills. Providence residency programs are built upon a tradition of excellence and commitment to developing leaders within pharmacy practice.
Effective patient-centered, clinical pharmacy practice is a philosophy that’s supported across the entire Providence organization. Join us virtually to meet our pharmacy teams, receive an overview of each program’s curriculum and details, and an opportunity for questions and answers.
