Candidate Status
The PGY2 Ambulatory Care residency with Sentara Medical Group/Ambulatory Service Division is a 12-month program designed to foster the development of pharmacists in ambulatory care. The resident can implement and manage new areas of pharmacy practice in the outpatient environment, conduct research in practical areas of ambulatory care pharmacy practice, become an expert in the education of pharmacy learners and other professions, and become a professional leader in the field of ambulatory care pharmacy.
PGY2 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in specialized areas of practice. PGY2 residencies provide residents with opportunities to function independently as practitioners by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge and incorporating both into the provision of patient care that improves medication therapy. Residents who successfully complete a PGY2 pharmacy residency should possess competencies that qualify them for clinical pharmacist positions and potential board certification eligibility.

- Required rotations may also be repeated as an elective rotation.
- If the resident has a special interest and there is not a rotation available for that specialty, the residency program director and coordinator should be informed.
