PGY1 Pharmacy Residency

Baylor Scott & White PGY1 Pharmacy Residency aims to expose and develop our residents with coaching, modeling, and facilitation, to the expanded pharmacist's role in directly impacting patient care while preparing them for a PGY2 and BCPS certification

Baylor Scott & White Vasicek Cancer Center, in conjunction with the Texas A&M University Rangel College of Pharmacy, offers an ASHP-accredited pharmacy residency designed to provide a broad experience in hospital pharmacy practice.

Our resident focuses on the comprehensive care of patients through evaluation and intervention of medication orders, interdisciplinary rounding, antimicrobial stewardship, education and research. This unique residency provides additional opportunities through oncology electives and research in the oncology population. The resident may not exceed one-third of residency in the oncology population.

PGY1 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy education to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists. We offer unique opportunities to prepare you to be responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions, while educating you to be eligible for board certification and postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency training.
