Program Overview

Thank you for your interest in BMC's residency programs!

The residency programs at BMC help pharmacy residents build the skills required for providing contemporary pharmaceutical care in a diverse population of patients. Boston Medical Center currently offers 10 positions in 6 different pharmacy residency programs. There are typically 5 PGY1 residents, with the remainder of positions dedicated to PGY2 specialty programs in Critical Care, Cardiology, Ambulatory Care, Oncology and Infectious Diseases.

The BMC residency programs are designed around the ASHP Residency Learning System model. We are proud to have been involved in pharmacy residency training for over 20 years. Our graduating residents are well-prepared to pursue specialty residencies, advanced patient care positions, and clinical faculty positions.
