PGY2 Cardiology

JOIN US FOR ONE OF OUR UPCOMING VIRTUAL INFORMATION SESSIONS! DATES/TIMES/LINKS ARE LOCATED ON THE MAIN UNC MEDICAL CENTER RESIDENCY PROGRAM HOMEPAGE

Interviews for the PGY2 Cardiology program will be conducted fully in person on our Chapel Hill campus

Program Purpose

PGY2 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in specialized areas of practice. PGY2 residencies provide residents with opportunities to function independently as practitioners by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge and incorporating both into the provision of patient care or other advanced practice settings. Residents who successfully complete an accredited PGY2 pharmacy residency are prepared for advanced patient care, academic, or other specialized positions, along with board certification, if available.
