Atrium Health Navicent The Medical Center (AHN) is a 637-bed nonprofit, community-teaching hospital located in Macon, Georgia. The Medical Center is part of the Atrium Health system, a North Carolina based health system that serves patients at 38 hospitals across North Carolina and Georgia. We are also affiliated with Mercer School of Medicine which offers an educational environment for medical and pharmacy residents, medical, pharmacy and nursing students and other health care professionals. We are seeking two outstanding pharmacist candidates to join our expanding team of professionals.
This 12-month program has been accredited by the American Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists (ASHP) since 1996. Our residency program is an organized, directed, postgraduate training program that centers on the development of the knowledge, critical thinking skills and leadership needed to yield a well-rounded clinical pharmacist.
PGY1 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and outcomes to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists who are responsible for the medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions. At the completion of the program, residents will be eligible for board certification and postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency training.
The residency is predicated on development of the clinical and distributive knowledge and management skills required to develop the resident's competence to provide pharmaceutical care. In order to provide training in all aspects of contemporary pharmacy practice, the resident will complete organized learning experiences in the following practice areas:
These training segments will include the following required learning experiences:
Residents may choose three elective learning experiences from the following list, all one month in length:
Upon successful completion of the program, trainees are awarded an American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) accredited residency certificate.
The Pharmacy Practice learning experience will include a staffing commitment every other weekend as well as one Friday afternoon per month (1-4pm). A compensation day is given for each weekend that is worked.
The resident is required to complete a major pharmacy practice project (often research oriented in nature) during the residency year. Our program currently utilizes the “Flip” project model where incoming residents complete a project started by the prior resident during the first part of the residency year. Residents initiate a new major project during the second half of the year, to be completed by a resident during the following residency year. The first project will be presented at the Southeastern Residency Conference and a manuscript will be prepared prior to completion of the residency program.
The resident stipend is approximately $54,000. Full employee benefits are available including medical, dental, and life insurance, and accrued paid time off. Educational travel support is provided for the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting, Southeastern Residency Conference, and other offerings as approved by the program director. Residents are provided with dedicated office space containing individual double monitor desk top computers, phones, storage space, and a printer.
