Adena Health
Pharmacy Residency Program

PGY1 residency programs build upon Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and outcomes to develop pharmacist practitioners with knowledge, skills, and abilities as defined in the educational competency areas, goals, and objectives. Residents who successfully complete PGY1 residency programs will be skilled in diverse patient care, practice management, leadership, and education, and be prepared to provide patient care, seek board certification in pharmacotherapy (i.e., BCPS), and pursue advanced education and training opportunities including postgraduate year two (PGY2) residencies.

The residency program revolves around the central idea that pharmacists should train pharmacists. Additionally, the resident will have the opportunity to work with the medical staff to ensure rational prescribing of medications, work with patients to enhance their knowledge of the medications they receive, and partner with nursing to improve the overall safety of medication use.

The PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency conducted by Adena Regional Medical Center, Chillicothe, Ohio has an accreditation candidate status with ASHP.
