Our pharmacy residency program uniquely focuses on ambulatory care

The PGY1 Community-Based Pharmacy Residency at Baylor Health Enterprises builds on the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education to develop well-rounded pharmacist practitioners. Residents gain the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to excel in patient care, practice management, leadership, and education. Graduates are prepared to provide direct patient care, pursue board certification (e.g., BCPS), and advance to PGY2 residencies or other postgraduate opportunities.

A key strength of this program is its diverse practice settings. Residents rotate through community pharmacies and ambulatory care clinics, including those focused on chronic disease state management, virtual quality care, and specialty services. This broad exposure equips residents to meet the evolving needs of patients across the healthcare continuum.

Baylor Health Enterprises, part of the Baylor Scott & White Health network, offers pharmacy services such as immunizations, medication therapy management, and specialty pharmacy—an area of growing importance in community-based care.

This multi-site residency offers four positions: two in Central Texas (Temple campus) and two in North Texas (Dallas campus).
