Residencies

Residencies are postgraduate training programs that provide essential clinical training for advancement within the profession of pharmacy. The mission of the University at Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences’ residency program is to educate pharmacy residents in pharmacy practice, clinical precepting, didactic teaching, clinical research and manuscript writing; to provide patient care; and to provide services to the community at large based upon this knowledge.  Our goal is to develop leaders who will practice autonomously as an integral member of the health-care team in the clinical pharmacy setting and/or as a clinical faculty member in the academic setting in a professional, ethical, and competent manner.  If you would like more information about our residency programs, a detailed overview is posted here: UB_SOPPS_Residency_Program_Handbook_Prospective_Residents_Final_2011-12.pdf
