PGY1 Residency
Palm Beach Atlantic University's PGY1 Pharmacy Residency Program provides you with a diverse set of experiences in both patient care and academia.
When you successfully complete the PGY1 program, you will be prepared to manage a
variety of both chronic and acute disease states, to fill academic pharmacy practice
faculty positions or go on to a PGY2 program in a focused area of practice. This residency
provides the unique opportunity for residents to assimilate and gain experience in
multiple practice settings, with an emphasis on the care of ambulatory patients, under
the guidance of pharmacy practice faculty from the Gregory School of Pharmacy.
Purpose
The PGY1 pharmacy residency program builds on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education
and outcomes to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible
for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions, eligible
for board certification and eligible for postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency
training.

“I was first drawn to PBA's PGY1 Pharmacy Residency because of the positive and friendly
interactions I had during my interview. The program was a great fit for me due to
the variety of clinical rotations in ambulatory care, internal medicine, missions
trip, VA Medical Center rotations and an academia component.” -– Natalie Rosario, Pharm.D., PGY1 Resident 2017
