HIV Advanced (Year 2) Pharmacy Residency

This 12-month program for advanced degree pharmacists will provide the resident with experience in a variety of HIV clinical settings, with a focus on ambulatory care (other rotations include inpatient services, community pharmacy, family practice clinics, drug information/marketing, pediatrics, therapeutic drug monitoring, consulting, community AIDS groups, and infectious diseases). The resident will be expected to initiate and complete a research project. The resident will also have teaching responsibilities for B.Sc.Phm. / M.Sc. hospital residents and Pharm.D. candidates doing elective HIV ambulatory rotations.

Please review the HIV Residency Program Manual for more detailed information on the program.
