Community

The PGY1 Community-based Pharmacy Residency gives new pharmacists the tools they need to be leaders and innovators in community pharmacy practices.

 


 

Ambulatory Care

PGY2 ambulatory care residencies are offered by the School in partnership with the Mountain Area Health Education Center and Mission Health in Asheville, North Carolina.

 


 

Hospital

The Partnership in Patient Care combines the resources of the School and the UNC Hospitals pharmacy department to increase pharmacy services available to patients at UNC Hospitals through enhanced engagement of PharmD students and residents, the quality and quantity of experiential education that students receive, and the breadth and depth of point-of-care research being conducted.

Hospital pharmacy residencies are offered through UNC Hospitals, which provide PGY1 and PGY2 opportunities.
