  Training Program - Pharmacy Post Graduate Year One Residency Training

Description How to Apply Benefits Contracts Length of Training

The Children's National Medical Center Pharmacy Postgraduate Year One (PGY1) Residency Program offers the motivated resident an excellent opportunity for learning in a challenging and progressive environment. It is designed to emphasize individual resident needs and interests utilizing the ASHP-developed Resident Learning System (RLS). Because Children's National is challenged with the very diverse issues that come with a heavy managed care population, residents receive real world learning experiences. The program is well rounded, including a great deal of instruction and involvement, providing both a philosophical and practical perspective on pharmacy issues.

More than 50 pharmacists have completed our residency since the start of the program in 1980. The pharmacy department is affiliated with Howard University School of Pharmacy, University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, and other pharmacy schools around the country.

Children’s National Medical Center is a participating member of the ASHP Residency Matching Program. 

Rotations

Required rotations include: Clinical Nutrition, Critical Care Medicine (Pediatric Intensive Care or Neonatal Intensive Care), Hematology/Oncology, General Medicine, Administration, Ambulatory Care, Cardiology, Emergency Medicine and Infectious Diseases.

Examples of clinics include: General Pediatric Clinic, Adolescent Medicine, HIV, Home Infusion, Transplant Clinic, Diabetes, and Pulmonology.

Some examples of Elective Rotations include, but are not limited to: Investigational Drugs and Pulmonology. Elective rotations may also be chosen based upon the resident’s professional interests and previous experiences.

Requirements
A residency project, selected by the resident, is required and must be in publishable form upon completion of the residency. The resident also will complete at least one drug use evaluation. In addition, written evaluation of each rotation experience by both resident and rotation preceptor are required. Residents staff every third weekend and one to two evening shifts per month for the department and must take the DC licensure exam in June or be eligible for reciprocation. Finally, residents will have the opportunity to serve as a preceptor for pharmacy students and will be required to in-service the pharmacy, nursing, and medical staffs when necessary.
