Explore Temple's PGY-2 Ambulatory Care Residency Program.

The Temple University School of Pharmacy Ambulatory Care residency is a one (1) year PGY-2 residency, which provides a comprehensive experience in a variety of ambulatory care settings with an emphasis in service and teaching. The program enables residents to confidently assume a clinical role and to become efficient educators for patients, healthcare professionals, and students. Residents work with several highly-qualified Temple University School of Pharmacy faculty members at their various practice sites. On many clinical rotations, residents operate under collaborative practice agreements to manage different disease states and participate in all outpatient pharmacy services, including, but not limited to, optimization of drug therapy, preventative medicine services, managing medication-related issues, and serving as a drug information resource for other healthcare professionals.
