Welcome to Cincinnati VA Medical Center’s Post Graduate Year 1 and 2 Pharmacy Residency Program

PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency Program:

The Cincinnati VA Medical Center (CVAMC) PGY1 residency program is accredited by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP).  We have graduate over 70 PGY1 residents since 1995.  This one year program accepts four residents each year to begin at the beginning of July through the end of the following June. 

 

The purpose of a PGY1 pharmacy residency program is to build on the Doctor of Pharmacy education and outcomes to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions, eligible for board certification, and eligible for postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency training.  This is achieved by numerous challenging and quality rotations precepted by Clinical Pharmacy Specialists in many different practices settings.  On rotation the residents is a valued member of the health care and/or leadership team.  With completion of this program a resident will have had strong experiences in Ambulatory Care, Acute Care, and Administration/Practice Management. Numerous electives are available for personalization of the residency.  Finally, each resident will complete a teaching certificate through the James L. Winkle University of Cincinnati College of Pharmacy.

 

PGY-2 Psychiatric Pharmacy Residency Program:

The CVAMC PGY2 psychiatric pharmacy program builds upon the skills and knowledge of PGY1 pharmacy practice training through focused attention to psychiatric disorders and to provide formative experiences in mental health care so the PGY2 psychiatric pharmacy resident graduate may function as an independent psychiatric clinical pharmacy specialists in a diverse range of practice settings.

 

The CVAMC PGY2 psychiatric pharmacy residency program began with its first resident in July 2014 and received retroactive accreditation to that date by ASHP in 2017. The Cincinnati VA Medical Center (CVAMC) is located centrally within Cincinnati near many local sporting and cultural attractions. The VA shares a 3 block campus with several other large Cincinnati Hospitals. The University of Cincinnati Colleges of Nursing, Medicine and Pharmacy are all just a short walk away. The CVAMC utilizes an integrated care model employing practitioners from all major disciplines, many of whom hold academic affiliations with the surrounding colleges. The CVAMC has established training programs in Mental Health Care for psychology, psychiatry, nursing, and social work. There is shared participation among disciplines in didactic learning, educational programming, and research.

“The Cincinnati VA residency program made me a more confident, well-rounded, and successful pharmacist. The breadth and depth of experiences available through the year allowed me to explore many different aspects of pharmacy at a clinical level. The preceptors were all fantastic, accommodating, and gave valuable feedback. I can confidently say that this residency is one of the best programs the VA has to offer. I loved it so much here that I decided to stay another year!” 

~Christopher Mashburn 2023-2024

 

“I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to complete my PGY1 residency training at the Cincinnati VAMC! I was able to take challenging rotations in both inpatient and outpatient practice areas, which left me feeling confident and prepared to start my pharmacy career in a variety of settings. I was especially thankful for the support and mentorship I received from my RPD and preceptors throughout my residency year”

~Sara Hamilton 2022-2023

 

“I am grateful to have been a part of such a great program! The Cincinnati VAMC was exactly what I was looking for with a breadth of practice in both the inpatient and outpatient settings and incredible preceptors who pushed me to grow leaps and bounds as a clinician.”

~Ana Vo 2022-2023

 

“I am incredibly thankful to have had the opportunity to complete a residency with the Cincinnati VA Medical Center. During my residency year I was challenged to grow clinically and professionally all while feeling well-supported by many wonderful preceptors and a great residency program director. The program was able to be tailored to my interests while also allowing me to be exposed to a variety of settings and prepared me well for my post-residency role. I couldn’t recommend this program more!”

~Brianne Potter 2021-2022


 

“The PGY-1 program here at Cincinnati VA was appealing to me initially for its variety of inpatient and outpatient opportunities. After the interview process and onboarding to start my residency year, I came to realize truly how adaptable the program was based on your clinical aspirations and was so pleased to see how many past residents stayed on to work here whether that was as a staff pharmacist or a clinical specialist. I felt so supported throughout the year and was able to maintain a great work-life balance. Thinking back, I am so grateful I matched with the Cincinnati VA and had the opportunity to give back to our Veterans while growing my clinical and leadership skills as a pharmacist!”

~Larissa Clark 2021-2022

 

“The Cincinnati VAMC PGY-1 residency experience shaped me into the pharmacist I am today. The amazing preceptors and various rotation settings created a truly one-of-a-kind learning environment. I am extremely appreciative of the training my residency provided me and am grateful I get to continue to work at such a great place.”

~Christopher Smedley 2021-2022



"This Cincinnati VAMC PGY-1 residency program far exceeded my expectations!  I was able to tailor my experiences to better prepare me in areas of my future career interests.  I was impressed with how encouraging, helpful, and flexible the preceptors were, especially since we were thrown many curveballs during the COVID-19 pandemic.  And finally, there is no better patient population to serve than our Veterans.  I will always be grateful for my PGY-1 residency experience!"
~Leah Philipp 2021


"After spending a couple months as an APPE at the Cincinnati VA, I knew I wanted to pursue a PGY-1 here.  The exceptional preceptors and rotation experiences create truly unparalled learning opportunities.  Throughout my residency year, I grew clinically and professionally while working amongst interdisciplinary teams in various inpatient and outpatient settings.  The diversity in experiences and boundless support from preceptors increased my confidence in starting my pharmacy career.  The meaningfulness of the year is difficult to condense into words - you really need to experience it yourself"
~Annie Tam, 2021


"This residency program was an amazing place to grow as a clinical pharmacist and as a person.  I explored multiple inpatient and outpatient pharmacy fields, worked in interdisciplinary teams, practiced at the top of my license, while having a comfortable work-life balance.  The RPD, preceptors, and staff provided a great education and support system while getting to know you at a personal level.  This program made me feel prepared to go into any pharmacy setting, and I would do it all over again if I had to."
~Ann Collett 2020


  “My residency year was amazing! Transitioning from a APPE student to resident was a smooth transition. I had a challenging year during residency and received the best support from my mentors and other preceptors. Choosing the Cincinnati VAMC for my residency training was extremely rewarding and a great decision!”
~Toebben Bolte 2020


 “My PGY2 residency experience at Cincinnati VAMC was very different than my PGY1 [at another VA]. It was a big learning curve to focus on a specialty (psychiatric pharmacy) and become a more independent clinician, particularly in a variety of settings that were different than anything I had experienced. The mental health pharmacy preceptors really helped guide me in this, and all the other pharmacists, preceptors, and members of various healthcare teams (social workers, nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, etc.) were very supportive throughout the year. I am grateful for this year of growth and career preparation.”
~Mervan Newbold  2020


“My residency at the Cincinnati VA was so uniquely beneficial to me due to the variety of both inpatient and outpatient experiences offered. While I thought that I wanted to pursue a career in ambulatory care, my inpatient experiences gave me more working knowledge of what happens while a patient is admitted--which ultimately impacts my care now working with transitions of care as a Home-Based Primary Care pharmacist.”
~ Andrea Finger 2019


“My residency year taught me how to actually practice pharmacy. Pharmacists can learn clinical facts anywhere. The support system at CVAMC showed me how to interact with other disciplines, make patient-centered decisions, and most importantly, how to be independent.”  
~ Rebekah Wahking 2019


“The Cincinnati VA Residency Program offered numerous opportunities to pursue any passion in pharmacy. I was able to tailor my residency selections to my future aspirations and upon completion, felt confident to practice independently as a clinical pharmacist. However, I was most impressed how the entire Cincinnati VA pharmacy staff: preceptors, technicians, staff pharmacists, and administration provided invaluable learning experiences to support my growth and development. I am grateful to the residency program for providing me the skills and knowledge  to continue to serve our Veterans in my current position.”
~ Andrew Dennis 2018


"Completing my residency at Cincinnati VA was life changing. First and foremost, because of the smaller residency class and committed preceptors, I was treated as a unique individual and provided feedback and opportunities that catered to my growth personally and professionally. All the preceptors knew me not only as just a resident, but as a person, and I was able to pursue my personal interests with the opportunity of an informatics rotation and informatics-focused residency project. Through these experiences at the Cincinnati VA, I was well equipped for my PGY2 in informatics, and I continue pulling the knowledge I gained into my practice every day.
~ Mei Lin 2014


“Everyone talks about how much residency is important but you truly don’t realize the depth of that statement until you actually do it yourself. The Cincinnati VA program provided me with an experience I will use for the stretch of my career. With the wide range of exposure in outpatient, acute care and administration, I gained an eclectic variety of experience that I would later use in my career without knowing it at that time. The learning experience is filled to the brim, preceptors are heavily involved in resident teaching and the program is fully invested in its residents!“
~ Alaa Minkara 2013


 “If I had to choose one word to describe the program, it would be BALANCED. I was able to gain knowledge and experience in so many areas (internal medicine, ICU, primary care, administration, research, etc.) Not only were there many opportunities, but the preceptors were fantastic teachers and always supportive. I felt very well prepared for my PGY-2 internal medicine residency this year!”
~ Christie Mock 2010


"The Cincinnati VA Pharmacy Residency Program provided me with the opportunity to work in depth in many settings: outpatient, inpatient, and administration. This wide variety of experiences helped me determine what aspects of pharmacy I enjoyed the most. Ultimately, the program enabled me to pinpoint exactly where I wanted to take my pharmacy career."             
~ Michael Hirsch 2010


“Without a doubt, the preceptors’ encouragement and active involvement with the residents makes the Cincinnati VAMC an exceptional place to complete a residency.”  
~ Jacqui Gates 2010


"It was challenging and it was tough. Would I do it again? Absolutely!"
~ Natalie O'Toole 2008


“When I look back at my residency experience, I think of it as a year of breaking down, rebuilding, and molding into the foundation of a strong pharmacy career.  I wouldn't be where I am today without it!”
~ Suzanne Chau 2004


“The Cincinnati VA residency program, with its well-rounded caring preceptors, learning experiences, and established collaborative practices afforded me the opportunity to develop knowledge, skills and abilities for lifelong learning and providing quality pharmaceutical care to our Veteran population. “
~ Todd Hanson 2002


"I am thankful, and ultimately delighted, to have completed my general pharmacy practice residency at the Cincinnati VA.  Residency work and supervision prepared me for clinical pharmacy in ways unsurmountable by entering the work-force immediately after college.  My ambitious preceptors and attendings instilled in me an unceasing passion for the work of clinical pharmacy, to better our profession and the health of our patients.  For this strong foundation, these experiences and memories, and the knowledge gained, I am grateful."        
~ Rebecca Helbus 2000
