The PGY1 Pharmacy Residency program at MaineHealth Mid Coast Hospital provides the strong foundation needed to become the best pharmacist possible. Our goal is to develop competent and compassionate pharmacists prepared for their next step whether that be continued training, teaching or patient care.
We have a growing team of passionate and motivated preceptors who are trained in the highest levels of their respective fields and are heavily invested in resident’s development. Our small community setting allows for strong relationships between resident, faculty and providers in a collegial environment. Our PGY1 residents truly become part of a collaborative interdisciplinary team.
Brunswick, Maine: Being able to enjoy all that Maine has to offer within a short distance from the hospital allows residents to take a break and recharge. There is no shortage of outdoor activities no matter the season and a vibrant cultural and restaurant scene on par with bigger cities, but without the hassles.
Longitudinal research projects are often structured in a reverse project format. Residents start the year by choosing from a list of projects already approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). This approach allows for data collection and analyses to begin right away.
- Residents receive guidance throughout the process from mentor(s) and Residency Advisory Council
- Residents present a poster at the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting and Exhibition
- Residents deliver a platform presentation at a professional conference for Pharmacy Residents and Preceptors
- Later in the year, residents will work to bring a new project proposal forward to the IRB; ensuring that the resident receives experience in all facets of research methodology.
Our curriculum is developed to provide each resident exposure to a broad range of experiences. Every year our curriculum is customized to the interests and needs of the resident. The program director and preceptors will work with the resident to optimize and adjust the program and learning experiences. Please refer to our manual for more information on learning experiences.
