The program is based at the 517-bed McLeod Regional Medical Center (MRMC), the flagship hospital for a seven-hospital system, stretching from the Midlands to the Coast of South Carolina. The residency program holds accreditation as a Postgraduate Year One (PGY1) Pharmacy Residency Program from the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) and trains pharmacists for 21st-century health care positions.
These Residency Programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and outcomes to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions. PGY1 candidates will be eligible for board certification and for postgraduate year (PGY2) pharmacy residency training. Our PGY2 candidate will be prepared for advanced patient care or other specialized positions, and board certification in the advanced practice area, if available.
More than one-third of the pharmacists employed have completed postgraduate residency training. Use of a decentralized pharmacy model facilitates close collaboration with physicians and other health care professionals, emphasizing the concept of pharmaceutical care.
