Program Description
The Residency in Pharmacy Practice (PGY1) at the University of Washington is a ASHP-accredited post-graduate program, which provides twelve months of training in all aspects of advanced pharmacy practice: acute patient care, ambulatory patient care, drug information, drug policy development, and practice management. The program offers flexibility which allows the residency to be tailored to the specific needs of the individual.
