Post-Graduate Year Two (PGY2) in Ambulatory Care Pharmacy
PGY2 residents work with licensed pharmacist clinicians (PhCs) within the patient-centered medical home. Opportunities in primary and specialty care are available and flexible to meet individual interests. Residents also engage in ambulatory care administrative activities at high levels within a large integrated healthcare system.
Learning Experiences
The first half of the residency year is spent in primary care patient-centered medical homes under the supervision of licensed pharmacist clinicians (PhCs) treating disease states including but not limited to diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and pulmonary conditions, supervising anticoagulation services and performing medication therapy management. The second half of the year adds specialty experience while allowing continuity in primary care.
Additional training experiences may include: interdisciplinary collaboration with Presbyterian’s Advanced Practice Clinician fellowship program, Crucial Conversations® course, medical Spanish course, leadership workshop series, project ECHO, and the teaching certificate program through The University of New Mexico.

Things to Know About New Mexico
Like the easy-going pace of the Rio Grande, the spirit of New Mexico is laid back with mild days, cool evenings and people as calm as the sunsets. It is known as the Land of Enchantment for many reasons, perhaps the biggest of which is its rich heritage of Native American, Hispanic and Western cultures. This merging of heritages brings together unique food, art and traditions, while maintaining the distinct integrity of each culture.
The Community: New Mexico continues to grow steadily in population and features a low cost of living. The Culture: New Mexico’s unique blend of Spanish, Mexican and Native American influences contribute to a culturally rich lifestyle. Add in Albuquerque’s International Balloon Fiesta, Los Alamos’ nuclear scientists, Roswell’s visitors from outer space, and Santa Fe’s artists, and you get an eclectic mix of people, places and experiences that make this state great. We have everything from mountains, forests, canyons, and lakes, to caverns, hot springs and sand dunes. Our landscapes are as diverse as our culture.
Recreation: New Mexico offers endless recreational opportunities to explore and enjoy an active lifestyle. Venture off the beaten path, challenge your body in the elements, or open yourself up to the expansive sky. From hiking, golfing and biking to skiing, snowboarding and boating, it’s all available among our beautiful wonders of the west.
