Learning experiences are sequenced based on the results of the resident’s interest and self-evaluation form. No more than one-third of the twelve-month PGY1 pharmacy residency program deals with a specific patient disease state and population (e.g., critical care, cardiology). Residents must spend two thirds or more of the program in direct patient care activities.
