We are excited to be recruiting for our first PGY1/2 HSPAL resident for the 2023-2025 residency years!
Hartford HealthCare is a fully integrated healthcare system in Connecticut, offering the full continuum of care with seven acute-care hospitals, behavioral health and rehabilitation services, a physician group and clinical integration organization, skilled-nursing and home health services, and a comprehensive range of services for seniors. The 2-year HSPAL residency program is based at Hartford Hospital.
The pharmacy structure within Hartford Healthcare includes both system and local components.
- During the first year, the pharmacy resident will complete a general pharmacy PGY1 at Hartford Hospital, with some additional focus in administration and leadership activities. Learn more about the Hartford Hospital Pharmacy Department.
- During the second year, the PGY2 pharmacy resident will work closely with the System Support Office (SSO) pharmacy team, which includes the Vice Presidency of Pharmacy Services, Clinical, Operations, Sterile Products and Quality/Regulatory Program Managers, and Medication Safety Officer, among others. All of the SSO pharmacy members work closely with local pharmacy directors and management teams. The PGY2 pharmacy resident will gain management and leadership experience on both the system and local levels, participating in initiatives, experiences, and projects across Hartford HealthCare.
