General Residency Information

Update: 2013-14 Residency Class

The University of Virginia Health System has supported post-graduate pharmacy education since 1991 when the PGY1 Pharmacy residency was first accredited by ASHP. Since that time, the following PGY2 Residencies have been established: Drug Information (1998), Critical Care (2002), Health System Pharmacy Administration (2010), Oncology (2011), Pharmacy Informatics (2011), and Solid Organ Transplant (2013).  All PGY2 programs are ASHP-accredited or in the accreditation process.

Under the guidance of our clinical and administrative staff, residents will are involved in clinical activities, medication use policy, and practice management activities.  Project, service, and teaching opportunities are longitundinal.  Residents are integrated into the medical team and pharmacy staff, working closely with healthcare personnel to optimize pharmacotherapy plans.  This unique and tailored experience will build a foundation for the residents to provide a high level of clinical pharmacy practice in the future.
