Palm Beach Atlantic University

Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA) Pharmacy Practice Residency prepares you to become pharmacists and servant leaders within the profession.

This program is designed to provide a solid foundation in patient-centered care, while focusing on fostering personal and professional leadership. Emphasis is placed on:

• Critical thinking
• Pedagogy
• Time management
• Collaborative care
• Clinical site development
• Communication
   

It is our goal as preceptors to nurture residents in their knowledge, skills, commitment and insight. We are preparing pharmacy clinicians for any of the following: patient care positions, academia and PGY2 training in ambulatory care.

Instructional Design and Organization
The PBA Pharmacy Practice Residency is divided into nine core training themes. Diverse activities have been designed within each core training theme to ensure maximal learning opportunities. One residency director and three co-preceptors oversee the resident training experiences.

Eight Core Training Themes (CTT's):

1. Ambulatory Care (three at five weeks)
2. Internal Medicine (five weeks)
3. Institutional Practice (Longitudinal)
4. Academia (Rotation and Longitudinal)
5. Drug Information (Longitudinal)
6. Academia Administration (four weeks)
7. Research (four-week block and longitudinal)
8. Faith Integration (Longitudinal) 

The residency is divided into two six-month blocks. All rotations are four-week blocks with the exception of Ambulatory Care and Internal Medicine, which are five-week blocks each. A primary preceptor will supervise the resident's day-to-day activities, however the resident will interact with other preceptors throughout longitudinal activities (drug information, institutional practice), and electives.
