Purpose Statement
PGY1 pharmacy residency programs build on Pharm.D. education and outcomes
to contribute to the development of a clinical pharmacist responsible
for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions,
eligible for board certification, and eligible for postgraduate year two
(PGY2) pharmacy residency training.
Kaweah Delta Health Care District (KDHCD) is a community-based teaching
hospital committed to producing PGY1 trained clinical pharmacists that
exhibit the core characteristics of leadership, evidenced-based practice
and service to the community. The PGY1 residency will train pharmacists
in professional practice and management activities where they will gain

the integration of hospital pharmacy services with the comprehensive needs
