Baylor Scott & White PGY1 Pharmacy Residency aims to expose and develop our residents with coaching, modeling, and facilitation, to the expanded pharmacist's role in directly impacting patient care while preparing them for a PGY2 and BCPS certification

Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Temple, in conjunction with Texas A&M University Rangel College of Pharmacy, offers an ASHP-accredited pharmacy residency designed to provide a broad experience in hospital pharmacy practice.

Our residents focus on the comprehensive care of patients through evaluation and intervention of medication orders, interdisciplinary rounding, antimicrobial stewardship, transitions of care, education, and research. PGY1 pharmacy residency programs build on the Doctor of Pharmacy education and outcomes to contribute to developing clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions, eligible for board certification and postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency training. We accept four residents each year.
