 About

The University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Pharmacy, in partnership with Bakers Pharmacy (a division of Kroger), offers a 52-week PGY-1 Community-Based Pharmacy Residency Program. Residents in this program will gain experience in Community-Based Pharmacy Practice, focusing on the development, provision, and evaluation of direct patient care services. The resident will work to develop advanced practice skills implementing and enhancing clinical services in the community-based pharmacy setting with additional teaching, leadership, and ambulatory care experiences.

Purpose

PGY-1 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 PGY-1 residency programs will be skilled in diverse patient care, practice management, leadership, and education, and be prepared to provide patient care in community and ambulatory settings, seek board certification in pharmacotherapy (i.e., BCPS), and pursue advanced education and training opportunities including postgraduate year two (PGY-2) residencies.
