Program Philosophy

The Regions Hospital PGY-2 Psychiatric Pharmacy Residency program aims to train pharmacists to provide pharmaceutical care, participate as a member of the health care team, and provide education of patients, health professionals and themselves. The program will provide the learning environment, instruction, mentoring, and evaluation necessary to prepare pharmacists to work independently in a psychiatric patient care setting and to sit for BCPP certification upon graduation. We are also committed to giving our residents the skills to effectively precept and mentor pharmacy students, residents, and learners from other disciplines.
