PGY2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency

We are excited to be recruiting for our first PGY2 Ambulatory Care Resident for the 2024-2025 residency year!

About the Program

The PGY2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency Program is based at Hartford Hospital and its surrounding offsite locations.  Residents will complete rotations in geriatrics, transitions of care, cardiology, anticoagulation, endocrinology, primary care, and pharmacy leadership and management.  The resident will also complete a research project, create and present an ACPE accredited continuing education program, and lead monthly lunch and learn topic discussions. The resident will have the opportunity to complete a number of elective experiences in our growing ambulatory care pharmacy department in addition to other areas at Hartford HealthCare locations.
