Department of Pharmacy & Drug Information

Residency Programs 2008-2009

All residency programs consist of a minimum of 2080 hours of training and experience under the preceptorship of full-time, Grady-employed clinical pharmacists. All members of the clinical staff have a minimum of one-year of residency training from an accredited program; many have two or more years of training post-doctorate. Residents participate in a 24-hour, on-call program unique to only a few programs nationally. In this capacity, they are responsible for addressing drug information questions, responding to pharmacokinetic consults and participating as a member of the Code Blue response team. All residencies conform to the standards of the ASHP Residency Learning System Model with regard to goals and objectives and evaluations. Residents are required to have Georgia licensure early in the residency year. Please note that Georgia law requires 500 internship hours obtained outside of school rotations. The practical exam will be mid-June, 2008. Please see http://www.sos.state.ga.us/plb/pharmacy/ for license requirements.
