Precepting senior-level pharmacy students
The program is structured to meet the accreditation standards of the American Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists (ASHP). All residency candidates must be members of ASHP and participate in the National Matching Services program. All candidates must also be graduates (or senior level in good standing) of an Accreditations Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE)-accredited Doctor of Pharmacy degree program. Residency candidates must be in possession of a valid intern’s license and working to earn the required intern hours for licensure in California. The resident should be licensed as a pharmacist by the state of California as soon as possible after starting the residency, but must be licensed within four months to remain in the residency program.
You will be paid a competitive residency rate while working in the residency program. You are eligible for the same benefits as a full-time Hoag employee. To apply for the pharmacy residency program, complete the application in PhORCAS.
