PGY1/2 Specialty Pharmacy Administration and Leadership Residency, University of Kentucky Specialty Pharmacy and Infusion Services, Lexington, KY

UK launched a dual PGY1/PGY2 residency in Specialty Pharmacy Administration and Leadership (SPAL) in July 2018. This program encompasses a two‐year experience that combines the well-rounded clinical experience of UK’s PGY1 Community-Based Specialty Pharmacy Residency with the rotational and longitudinal management and leadership experiences during the PGY2 SPAL residency year. Although this program is marketed as a combined PGY1/2 program it is actually two separate programs where the accepted candidate is committed to completing both their PGY1 Community-Based Specialty Pharmacy Residency followed by their PGY2 in SPAL at UK. Residents in this program also pursue a Master of Science degree from the University of North Carolina Eshelman School of Pharmacy. Graduates of the program will be experts in the clinical, operational, and business aspects of a health system specialty pharmacy.
