Mercy Hospital and Medical Center
PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency
Description
Comprehensive Pharmacy Services (CPS) sponsors a PGY-1 residency at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center in downtown Chicago. This residency is a full-time, one-year program, starting July 1st of each calendar year. Residents will gain experience providing a wide range of pharmacotherapy, educational, and medication management services to patients, providers, and staff in a community medical center setting. Learning experiences will be conducted in a mixture of rotations and longitudinal activities with a maximum degree of flexibility and customization to the resident’s needs and interests.
Purpose Statement
The CPS/MHMC residency is structured, post-graduate experiential training program that strives to develop proficient and professionally committed practitioners. It is focused on improving the resident's abilities beyond entry level competence in clinical and operational pharmacy services, and on developing leadership skills that can be applied in any practice setting. In this program, the resident will actively participate in efforts to improve the scope and quality of pharmacy services, and will evaluate the relevant outcomes of such initiatives. As a clinician, the resident will demonstrate proficiency and responsibility in caring for patients with a wide variety of disease states in different health care settings. As befits the teaching missions of the sponsoring organizations, the resident will become skilled as an educator of health professionals, students, and the public. Throughout all experiences, the resident will acquire the skills necessary for lifelong learning and self assessment.
