Our pharmacy residency program uniquely focuses on ambulatory care

PGY1 Community residency programs build upon Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and outcomes to develop pharmacist practitioners with knowledge, skills, and abilities as defined in the educational competency areas, goals, and objectives. Residents who successfully complete PGY1 residency programs will be skilled in diverse patient care, practice management, leadership, and education, and be prepared to provide patient care, seek board certification in pharmacotherapy (i.e., BCPS), and pursue advanced education and training opportunities including postgraduate year two (PGY2) residencies.

A unique aspect of this community residency program is the increased focus on specialty pharmacy.

Baylor Health Enterprises operates pharmacies within the Baylor Scott & White Health network. Pharmacy services include specialty pharmacy, immunization services, and medication therapy management. In addition, our residents spend time in several ambulatory care clinics, including traditional ambulatory care clinics with a focus on diabetes management to virtual quality management clinics and various specialty clinics.

Baylor Health Enterprises Community-Based Pharmacy Residency is a multi-site residency offering four positions — two in Central Texas at the Temple campus and two in North Texas at the Dallas campus.

Training goals

The residents practice in year-long longitudinal rotations: management of patients with chronic diseases, medication therapy management and retail pharmacy operations.

The major training goals for our PGY1 residency follow those required by ASHP and include:

  • Patient Care
  • Leadership and Management
  • Advancement of Community-based Practice and Improving Patient Care
  • Teaching, Education, and Dissemination of Knowledge

Each resident will participate in collaborative research and teaching experiences. Graduates are able to function as adjunct faculty for college of pharmacy.
