PGY1 Pharmacy Residency
The PGY1 pharmacy
residency at Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center is a one year post
graduate training program which begins annually in late June/early July. The program includes rotational experiences
which cover the essential practice of the community clinical pharmacist. The PGY1 pharmacy residency builds on the
Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) 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.
