Program Overview
The Alamance Regional Medical Center PGY1 residency program is designed to develop community-based pharmacist leaders with the ability to provide patient-centered pharmaceutical care as an integral member of the health care team. The program provides residents with opportunities to improve medication therapy and work collaboratively with health care providers in the acute inpatient and various ambulatory care settings.
Residents are required to complete a research project, participate in medication use evaluations, and present an ACPE-accredited CE program to healthcare professionals in our hospital system. Precepting experience is gained while co-precepting students from the University of North Carolina Eshelman School of Pharmacy and High Point University Fred Wilson School of Pharmacy.
Residents staff every other weekend during orientation period and then transition to once a week and every fourth weekend. Residents are expected to cover one winter holiday (Christmas or Thanksgiving) and one minor holiday shift (Memorial Day or Labor Day) during their residency year.
Upon completion of the program, residents will have the skills necessary to practice as independent and confident clinicians in multiple patient care settings. As a member of the Cone Health System, our PGY1 residents are able to enter the early commitment process for PGY2 Resident positions within Cone Health.
