Corbin PGY1 Community Based Pharmacy Residency Curriculum
The Baptist Health Corbin PGY1 Community-Based Pharmacy Residency Program aims to develop pharmacy leaders that have the necessary skill set to provide quality patient-care services. The intent of the program is to produce proficient pharmacists qualified to practice independently, capable of improving the health of patients within the communities they serve.
This program offers the opportunity to participate in multi-disciplinary patient care in a variety of disease-state management clinics, facilitate patient transitions between care settings and provide direct patient care in ambulatory settings through provider collaboration and board-approved protocols.
Residents will have the opportunity to serve as preceptors to pharmacy students, an educator to other health care providers, and provide community outreach through health fairs and educational programs.
