Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA) offers residency programs that prepare you to
become servant leaders within the profession of pharmacy. Our programs are designed
to provide residents with a solid foundation in patient-centered care in a variety
of settings, while focusing on fostering personal and professional leadership. We
are currently the only residency program that actively incorporates faith integration
as one of our core traits. Emphasis within our programs is placed on:
Critical thinking
Patient centered care
Pedagogy
Time management
Our residency program directors and preceptors are dedicated to nurturing resident
knowledge, skills, and growth as pharmacy professionals.
Each of our residency programs integrates a teaching and learning component that takes
place within the School of Pharmacy.
Residents are given an academic appointment as an instructor of pharmacy practice
within the Gregory School of Pharmacy. Residents participate in the following types
of activities longitudinally throughout the residency year: topic discussions, large
classroom teaching, small group facilitation, active learning and co-precepting. Residents
participating in the program will be required to submit an electronic teaching portfolio
including a teaching philosophy. Residents successfully completing assigned activities
will be awarded a teaching certificate of completion.

"PBA's residency program provided numerous opportunities to build a strong evidence-based
clinical foundation, develop motivational interviewing skills and expand upon critical
thinking skills while working with diverse patient populations. The preceptors remained
