Residency
The PGY1 pharmacy residency program at Montefiore Medical Center was established in 1968 as the first pharmacy residency in New York City. The program was later accredited by the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists in 1975. The program consists of a one month general orientation, followed by eleven months of learning experiences. There are five residents accepted into the program annually.

The Practice Management component includes experiences in Medication Use Evaluation, Performance Improvement and Surveillance for Adverse Drug Events and Medication Errors. The Practice Management component enables the residents to acquire the skills needed for effective leadership in the profession.
