Pharmacy Residency Program at MedStar Health Harbor Hospital
The MedStar Harbor Hospital (MHH) Department of Pharmacy Services is committed to providing the highest quality postgraduate training in contemporary hospital pharmacy practice. The program is designed to meet the resident's individual needs and assist them in attaining their personal and professional goals. MedStar Harbor Hospital offers unique opportunities for pharmacists who desire advanced training in pharmacy practice in a variety of practice settings. Our 12-month PGY1 program emphasizes all aspects of clinical and pharmacological management in adult and neonatal patients.
The mission of the MedStar Harbor Hospital Pharmacy Residency Program is to assist residents in transition from entry-level to advanced or specialty-trained practitioners in the health-system environment and to become professionals who optimize medication use for individual patients and patient populations.
Why train here
PGY1 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and outcomes to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions, eligible for board certification, and eligible for postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency training.
