Pharmacy Residencies
Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center
The PGY1 Pharmacy Residency at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center is an ASHP-accredited, one-year postgraduate training program that begins on July 1st annually. The program consists of rotations throughout a variety of areas that are designed to provide the resident with the skills and confidence necessary to practice as a clinical pharmacist in an acute care setting. Residents that complete the PGY1 Pharmacy Residency will be well prepared to complete advanced training by means of a PGY2 specialty residency in areas such as Critical Care, Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and others, should they desire to do so.
Rotations and Experiences
PGY1 Pharmacy Residents will be exposed to a broad range of experiences and activities intended to build the skills necessary to practice as a clinical pharmacist in an acute care setting. Residents are required to complete an orientation month, along with 7 month-long rotations. The remaining months will consist of a research project month and 3 month-long elective rotations. Residents are also required to participate in a 6-month longitudinal rotation in the Transitional Care Facility.
Residents will conduct a longitudinal research project throughout their residency year that includes presenting the results at a regional residency conference and preparing a written manuscript. Presentation skills will be enhanced by giving an ACPE-accredited seminar presentation along with case presentations during Journal Club. Residents will also gain experience with teaching and precepting through the completion of a Teaching Certificate program and co-precepting pharmacy students on clinical rotations.
