Programa de Residencia en Farmacia Comunitaria PGY-1
Our residents do more than engage in pharmacy practice; they participate in improving it. Develop the skills, confidence, and experience to lead the future of community-based pharmacy practice.
Program Overview
The NeighborHealth PGY1 Community Pharmacy Residency Program is a 52-week program designed to develop practice-ready pharmacists who are prepared to provide patient-centered care and advance pharmacy practice in the community.
Residents train within one of Massachusetts’ largest community health centers and care for diverse patient populations in an environment strongly committed to health equity, medication access, and community-centered care.
At NeighborHealth, residents have the opportunity to practice pharmacy where clinical care, medication access, population health, quality improvement, and health equity intersect.
