About Our Program
Welcome to AdventHealth for Children’s Pharmacy Residency Program page! We are excited you are interested in our residency program. Our PGY2 pediatric pharmacy residency program was started in 2011. Our PGY2 pediatric pharmacy residency program offers one full-time, 52-week position accredited by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists.
PGY-2 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and PGY-1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in specialized areas of practice. PGY-2 residencies provide residents with opportunities to function independently as practitioners by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge and incorporating both into the provision of patient care or other advanced practice settings. Residents who successfully complete an accredited PGY-2 pharmacy residency are prepared for advanced patient care, academic, or other specialized positions, along with board certification, if available.
For specific information regarding our residency program, please check the Program Description.
Thank for your interest in our program and for visiting our website. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Letha Huang, PharmD, BCPPS PGY-2 Pediatric Residency Program Director Address: 601 East Rollins Street Orlando, Florida 32803 407-303-1530 Letha.Huang@AdventHealth.com
