PGY2 Ambulatory Care Residency Program
KDHCD PGY2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency
Kaweah Delta Health Care District (KDHCD) is committed to producing PGY2-trained
ambulatory care clinical pharmacists that exhibit leadership, evidence-based
practice and service to the community. The KDHCD PGY2 Ambulatory Care
Residency program will build on the skills and knowledge gained in accredited
PGY1 training programs. The program will provide advanced professional
practice and management activities where residents will gain in-depth
experience in a more independent role leading to advanced practice skills
and knowledge of the integration of pharmacy services with the comprehensive
needs of individual practice settings. Upon completion, residents will
have gained the skills and experience needed to establish advanced and
innovative services in the ambulatory clinic environment; leverage population
health and novel payment strategies to support ambulatory pharmacy services;
become a leader within the healthcare team; and, effectively advocate
for the delivery of quality care and outcomes.
