Specialty Residency: PGY-2
The pharmacy specialty residency programs at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital are designed to enhance experience within a selected clinical specialty. The knowledge and skills gained by working closely with leading researchers and clinicians will enable the resident to excel at the forefront of pharmacy practice and medicine.
We currently offer three ASHP-accredited PGY-2 pharmacy residency positions tailored to the needs and interests of each resident through our extensive clinical practice programs including Critical Care, Infectious Diseases, and Solid Organ Transplantation.
