Residency Program

A hospital pharmacy residency is a 12-month, postgraduate learning experience. Through structured rotations in various areas of pharmacy practice, the program aims to prepare pharmacists for exemplary pharmacy practice. The purpose of a general hospital pharmacy residency program is:

  • to provide an experiential learning environment using practitioner role models so the necessary skills, knowledge and values required to be a hospital pharmacist can be acquired and applied by the resident in the provision of exemplary patient care.
  • to develop competent and progressive pharmacy practitioners and encourage future leaders for the profession.

For information on residency programs visit the CSHP National Site.
