PGY2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency

Program Summary:

After orientation to BayCare and Turley Family Health Center, residents begin a concentrated period of required learning experiences. Residents’ complete rotations in core subject areas that are essential to ambulatory care pharmacy practice. All required rotations are 4 weeks in length. For rotations that are repeated, there are higher expectations for the resident. For advanced rotations, the resident begins at the facilitating level. Elective rotations can be taken April-June. There are 12 weeks of elective time.

The residency is designed to provide residents with the opportunity to work with physicians and mid-level providers to assure rational prescribing of medications, work with patients to enhance their knowledge of the medications they receive, and partner with nurses and medical assistants to improve the overall safety of medication use.

Teaching is included in longitudinal experiences throughout the year. University of South Florida pharmacy students may choose the Turley Family Health Center as a site for their ambulatory care rotation. Project management is also included in the longitudinal curriculum. This includes presentations and other projects, including a major research project. The resident’s research will be presented at the Florida Residency Conference, or other professional meeting, and may be submitted for publication. The resident will certainly develop oral and written communication skills as they participate in committees and experience pharmacy practice throughout the healthcare system.
