Residency Programs
Ambulatory Care (PGY-2)
Since 1989, the PGY-2 Ambulatory Care Residency at Shands Jacksonville has offered a diverse experience in patient focused care. Residents are integrated in our Medical Home, primary and specialty clinics including Anticoagulation, Pain, Diabetes, Hypertension, Renal/Dialysis, Transplant, Cardiology, Neurology, Pulmonary Hypertension, Asthma, and Wellness.
Knowledgeable preceptors, collegial relationships with the medical team, national exposure to the HRSA-PSPC Collaborative and the 340b Peer-to-Peer program are just a few of the opportunities. As the distance campus for the University of Florida College of Pharmacy, teaching opportunities and a teaching certificate program are also available.
Program
The PGY-2 Ambulatory Care program provides the resident the education, training, and experience necessary to actively participate in a comprehensive ambulatory care setting. In collaboration with the medical staff, the resident provides care to a variety of patients on a daily basis.
They also gain leadership experience through participation in professional organizations, mentoring PGY1 residents and pharmacy students, and clinic development or expansion. Opportunities to educate patients, students, and other health-care professionals are integrated into each experience.
The resident also gains operational experience in a high volume, fully-automated outpatient pharmacy serving a diverse patient population. Areas of emphasis include formulary management, optimization of pharmacy operations, and managing drug shortages. The program is accredited by the American Society of Heath-System Pharmacists.
