 About

The PGY-1 Community-Based Pharmacy Residency Program is designed through a partnership between the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Pharmacy and Bakers Pharmacy (a division of Kroger). The resident will participate in health coaching to provide education, MTM services, and disease state management. The resident will participate in a longitudinal ambulatory care rotation at a UNMC affiliated ambulatory care clinic and will gain additional academic experience through the UNMC College of Pharmacy by providing didactic and clinical precepting experiences. The resident is required to complete the UNMC Teaching Certificate Program. Additional management, leadership, and service experiences will be completed throughout the year. Each resident is expected to develop, complete, and present findings of a community-based research project, and a manuscript for publication must be submitted.

Purpose

The PGY-1 Community-Based Pharmacy Residency focuses on the development of community-based pharmacy practitioners who have the clinical and professional experiences needed to care for patients and advance the profession. After completion of the PGY-1 Community-Based Pharmacy Residency Program, residents will be well qualified to hold clinical and leadership roles in community pharmacy, ambulatory care pharmacy, and/or pursue additional post-graduate training opportunities.
