Overview

The PGY-2 Pharmacy Residency in Ambulatory Care at Mayo Clinic Health System – Eau Claire will build on Doctor of Pharmacy education and PGY-1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of skilled clinical pharmacists who practice in ambulatory care.

This program will provide residents with opportunities to function independently as practitioners by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge. The resident will incorporate these skills into the provision of individualized patient care in a variety of ambulatory care settings.

Residents who successfully complete this PGY-2 pharmacy residency will be prepared for advanced patient care, academic, or other specialized positions, along with board certification in ambulatory care.
