After beginning as a practice site for the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy’s Community-based Residency program, UNC Health is proud to offer its own PGY1 Community Pharmacy residency program.  UNC Health has hosted two residents annually since 2021.  This integrated health system outpatient pharmacy setting provides a unique combination of experiences, leveraging UNC Health’s retail, home delivery, specialty, ambulatory and transitions of care services. 

Purpose Statement:

The PGY1 Community-based 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
