The purpose of this PGY1 residency program is to build upon the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and outcomes to develop community‐based pharmacist practitioners with diverse patient care, leadership, and education skills who are eligible to pursue advanced training opportunities, including board certification and other professional certifications.
The PGY1 Community-Based Pharmacy Residency Program is a combined program offered by Florida A&M University and Community Health Northwest Florida (FAMU/CHNWF). The program is designed for pharmacy graduates with a strong interest in community pharmacy, primary care/ambulatory care, and academia. Residents of this program will have a unique experience in caring for medically underserved populations or patients residing in rural communities. The resident will learn how to take responsibility for the outcomes of medication use by their patients through patient interviews, evaluation, assessment, and monitoring. The resident will be trained in distributive services, business administration, health and wellness interventions, immunizations, disease state education and monitoring, medication therapy management services, point of care testing, documentation of services, and billing. This will provide residents the confidence to practice in all areas of community pharmacy while remaining patient-centered clinicians.
The FAMU/CHNWF Residency program is committed to training pharmacists by providing a well-rounded, customized, immersive experience. Residents become culturally competent and transformational leaders in providing collaborative medication management services to improve care for diverse patients.
The FAMU/CHNWF Residency program strives to promote a customized experience for the resident in a clinically diverse environment. We look to develop a culturally competent leader in medication therapy management and develop and retain pharmacist-providers who are compassionate, empathetic, and thoughtful residents and preceptors involved in advanced clinical care, impactful research, and patient and professional advocacy.
Each learning experience may have multiple preceptors that work as a team to provide patient care activities. The term primary preceptor designates the department team member who provides primary preceptorship to the resident on any given learning experience. The primary preceptor is responsible for the development and maintenance of goals, objectives, and activities for the assigned areas of responsibility. The preceptor will review the resident's learning activities at the beginning of the resident's experience to designate the resident's specific interests and needs. The primary preceptor is responsible for enforcing deadlines for project activities in accordance with the Residency Program calendar. Click button below to learn more
