Pharmacy Residency – Oklahoma City

• 12-month ASHP PGY1 pharmacy residency program (Pre-candidate status)
• Number of available positions: 2
• Start date: 6/22/2026

The PGY1 pharmacy residency program at Mercy Hospital Oklahoma City builds on the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education of graduates eligible for board certification and eligible for postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency training. This program contributes to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions.

The residency program is a 12-month post-graduate curriculum that offers training opportunities in acute patient care, medication use systems, clinical services management and pharmacy leadership. This program offers a broad range of clinical learning experiences to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to develop a resident into an independent practitioner. As members of integrated health care teams, residents work cooperatively with other providers to deliver safe medication therapy and achieve optimal clinical outcomes. Service, teaching and scholarship are modeled and taught by residency preceptors to help the resident progress and apply the knowledge and skills required for a successful and rewarding career in clinical pharmacy.

The residency program is designed to offer an individualized training plan for each resident based on their interests, goals and past experiences. Residents are required to complete core learning experiences to build a strong foundational knowledge base and will select elective rotations based on their specific areas of interest.
