PGY1 Overview
Moses Cone Hospital hosts eight PGY1 residents each year. Two positions are designated for residents interested in acquiring advance ambulatory practice skills.
This comprehensive program provides training experiences in the fundamentals of pharmacy practice in an integrated health-system. An individualized training plan, based on the resident's entrance level of knowledge, skills, and interests, is developed and adjusted throughout the year. While developing competence to provide patient-centered care in multiple patient care environments, PGY1 residents acquire substantial knowledge required for skillful problem solving and strengthen their professional values.

All Cone Health pharmacy residencies participate in the National Matching Service (NMS) match program. Applicants should register and apply through the central residency application ASHP's PhORCAS.
In addition to applying through PhORCAS, each prospective Cone Health resident must apply to be a Cone Health employee.
Please visit the PGY1: Moses Cone Hospital ASHP residency listing to obtain the NMS match code needed to apply. PLEASE NOTE that there are two NMS codes; which one you use depends on whether you intend to apply with a focus in acute care or ambulatory care.

- Provide a current curriculum vitae and letter of intent.
- Request an official transcript of your grades to be forwarded directly to the PhORCAS Transcripts Department.
