PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency Program

The opportunities for training in the first year residency program are limitless, as Grady offers a diverse teaching environment that supports a multi-disciplinary approach to care. We are excited about what the program has to offer and are seeking residents who are equally committed and excited about this next step in their professional development. The primary goal of the PGY-1 pharmacy residency is to partner with the resident to develop the clinical knowledge and skills that will ensure future success in either a specialty residency or clinical practice.
