The Department of Pharmacy at Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital offers an ASHP-Accredited PGY1 Pharmacy Residency. This 12-month program provides the necessary opportunities for highly motivated pharmacists to achieve their professional goals.
The Sentara Martha Jefferson residency experience is designed to provide the resident with the knowledge, abilities, experience, attitude, and critical thinking skills necessary to become a leader in integrated health system pharmacy practice. Rotations are designed to enhance the expertise of the resident in the application and management of drug therapy in a variety of patient care areas; in the provision of drug information services; and in practice management as it relates to the overall direction and integration of pharmacy services. The program is sufficiently flexible to allow the resident to develop skills in many areas based on individual need and preference.

You work hard for a reason- to enjoy the rewards and benefits of a quality lifestyle. And nowhere else is life more agreeable than in Charlottesville. Here you will enjoy a modern and progressive city, filled with old-world elegance and charm, nestled contentedly in the unspoiled beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. With a population of over 100,000 people, Charlottesville is a highly livable city that offers many of the same advantages of towns twice its size- museums, a resident theatrical company, a community orchestra, international performing artist’s series- without the disadvantages. Charlottesville has a thriving culinary environment with dozens of unique restaurants centered on a half-mile pedestrian mall downtown, and four performing arts venues including the new John Paul Jones Arena.
Charming, picturesque, thriving and modern. That’s what makes Charlottesville unique, and it’s the reason we’re consistently ranked near the top of the most livable cities in the country. The secret’s out, so there’s nothing else to do but invite you to come see us for yourself.
