PGY1 Managed Care Pharmacy Residency
Kaiser Permanente Georgia’s PGY1 Managed Care Pharmacy Residency is a 52-week, American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP)/Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) jointly accredited program in the metro-Atlanta area. Our hybrid program provides remote and in-person training in a variety of managed care, specialty, and ambulatory care pharmacy clinics within an integrated healthcare system.
During the year, our residents work under a collaborative practice agreement in direct patient care and have many multidisciplinary team interactions. Residents will gain insight into providing comprehensive medication management in primary care and specialty outpatient practices. In addition to required core experiences, longitudinal experiences, and two block elective rotations, residents will present one continuing education program to the pharmacy department in the fall.
The program prepares residents to become advanced, skilled, and independent pharmacy practitioners who are qualified for positions in Ambulatory Care, Drug Use Management, Medication Therapy Management (MTM), Drug Information, Transitions of Care, Pharmacy Benefits, or for PGY2 training in an area of choice. Professional and career development is encouraged throughout the residency.
