The residency programs conducted at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital in Roanoke, Virginia have a strong commitment to the education and professional development of pharmacists. We currently have four positions in our Postgraduate Year One (PGY1) Pharmacy Residency program and one position in our Postgraduate Year Two (PGY2) Critical Care program.
The PGY1 Pharmacy Residency Program is accredited by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP). The graduates of our PGY1 program will be prepared for positions to provide comprehensive pharmaceutical care, serve as adjunct faculty, or complete PGY2 pharmacy training.
The PGY2 Critical Care Pharmacy Residency Program will recruit its first resident to begin in July of 2013. The program is currently in a “pre-candidate” status with ASHP and will seek accreditation during the first year. The emphasis of this program is to develop pharmacists with expertise in critical care pharmacotherapy. The graduates of our PGY2 program will be prepared to practice as a clinical specialist in critical care and serve as adjunct faculty.
