From the Program Director

The need for graduates from a PGY-1/PGY-2 Health System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership with Masters program has never been greater. As a graduate you will ultimately serve as a source of highly trained pharmacy leader able to enter the workforce with baseline clinical training (PGY-1) coupled with formal managerial training (PGY-2), ASHP Pharmacy Leadership Academy diploma, and a master’s degree. In today’s highly complex and integrated healthcare environment, formal HSPAL training is critical to not only initially succeed in a pharmacy leadership position and offers infrastructure for leader growth.

Mayo Clinic is in the ideal situation to host a combined HSPAL-MS residency program. Mayo Clinic offers one of the richest and most diverse pharmacy practices in the United States. In addition to hospital practice, the Department of Pharmacy has fully integrated inpatient, outpatient, specialty pharmacy, and ambulatory care services across the Midwest. The first year of the program mirrors our existing PGY-1 program (in place since 1972) to build on clinical skills, while the second year (PGY-2) focuses entirely on HSPAL.

Along with all of our exceptional preceptors, I look forward to meeting you and hopefully being part of your amazing residency experience!
