Pharmacy Residency in Ambulatory Care (PGY-2), Royal Oak

Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak offers a twelve-month American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) accredited, Ambulatory Care PGY-2 Residency program for one residency candidate. The program begins July 1st and ends June 30th.

Our program strives to meet the needs of the resident based on previous PGY-1 residency experience, interests, and individual goals of the candidate. The residency program is divided into four 3-month block rotations, with the first rotation devoted to orientation to the Internal Medicine/Primary Care Clinic. An individual training plan is created for each resident. All residents complete a research project and present their study results at the Great Lakes Residency Conference in the spring.

Residency Program Purpose

This Ambulatory Care PGY-2 Residency provides training and education to pharmacists interested in ambulatory care, and creates an independent and competent practitioner that provides comprehensive patient care in an ambulatory care setting. As a member of the health care team, residents will: 1) take full responsibility for the care of each patient served; 2) provide necessary education for medical professionals operating in the outpatient clinic as well as all patients treated; 3) address and resolve pharmacotherapy and disease state issues, taking into account potential barriers in implementation of the pharmacotherapy plan (i.e., patients' socioeconomic status, insurance status, and/or cultural barriers); 4) practice pharmacy and communicate to other healthcare professionals in a manner that displays commitment to the profession and importance of a clinical specialist in the outpatient setting.
