The goal of the Pharmacy Residency Program is to develop compassionate, clinically superior pharmacists who are prepared for hospital practice or further specialization in pediatrics.

This program is uniquely geared to individuals with strong pediatric interest who would like to learn in a pediatric-focused environment during their first postgraduate year. Graduates of this program will be able to easily transition to a PGY2 pediatric specialty residency or obtain a hospital position as a point-of-care pediatric pharmacist.

About Our Program

At Nemours, we offer a one-year Pharmacy Residency Program. Our goal, upon your completion of this program, will be to prepare you as a competent and confident practitioner, able to deliver pharmacy care to pediatric patients in a distributive as well as clinical environment.

You’ll also develop the necessary skills to educate patients, families, and other healthcare professionals on drug-related topics.

We’ll provide experiences that will help develop essential skills such as writing, communication, critical thinking and problem solving. You’ll also have the opportunity to improve the safety of the medication-use system and demonstrate professional maturity by monitoring your own performance and by exhibiting commitment to the profession.

Our program offers you a number of distinctive features including:
  • A six-month split in your required ambulatory care clinic experience, allowing you to experience more than one ambulatory care setting
  • Flexibility in your schedule should your interests change over the course of the year
  • A residency steering committee will monitor your progress and provide guidance for the completion of your required activities
  • Affiliations with several area hospitals allow us to provide some experiences off-site
