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.
Swedish Medical Center's ASHP-accredited PGY-1 Residency Program offers six PGY-1 resident positions. The purpose of Swedish’s PGY-1 Residency Program is to prepare resident pharmacists for hospital and ambulatory clinical positions, adjunct faculty positions, teaching and precepting positions, clinical administrative projects or further PGY-2 training in a focused area of practice. Experiences are uniquely designed to suit the individual need and interests of the resident.

The flexible curriculum also provides the resident with the opportunity to be involved in planning, implementing and evaluating new rotations and services.
