Our motto, “The Remedy is Experience”, reflects the overall mission of our program.
The purpose of our postgraduate year one (PGY1) residency program is to develop accountability; practice patterns; habits; and expert knowledge, skills, attitudes, and abilities in pharmacy practice. PGY1 residency programs build upon Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and outcomes to develop pharmacist practitioners with knowledge, skills, and abilities as defined in the educational competency areas, goals, and objectives. Residents who successfully complete PGY1 residency programs will be skilled in diverse patient care, practice management, leadership, and education, and be prepared to provide patient care, seek board certification in pharmacotherapy (i.e., BCPS), and pursue advanced education and training opportunities including postgraduate year two (PGY2) residencies.
The purpose of our PGY2 programs is to build upon the broad-based competencies achieved in a PGY1 residency, deepening the resident's ability to provide care in the most complex of cases or in the support of care through practice leadership. Residents will have the opportunity to function independently as practitioners by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge and transforming both into improved medication therapy for patients. Upon completion of this program, the resident should possess the competencies that enable attainment of board certification and qualify for a career path in their respective specialty area.

FAQs
Q. When are applications due in PhorCas?
A. Phase II applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The sooner your application is received, the sooner we will be able to review it and determine if an interview will be offered. The application deadline for Phase II is March 29, 2026 11:59 PM EDT
Q. Which programs were available in Phase II of the match?
A. We are recruiting for PGY1 positions. All PGY2 positions have been already filled.
Q. Will interviews be on-site or virtual?
A. While we believe that the ideal interview would be on-site so that you can fully appreciate the setting and "vibe" of our hospital, as well as having the opportunity to meet your potential co-residents. We also realize that traveling long distances for interviews is financially and emotionally draining. Thus, if we invite you to interview with our programs, we strongly encourage you to visit us in person, in Brooklyn. However, if this presents a hardship AND you would be traveling more than the equivalent of a THREE hour drive to arrive at our location, you may request a virtual interview. Virtual interviews are conducted in the same format as an in-person interview, without the tour. If you would like to be considered for a virtual interview, please contact the RPD for the program that you are applying to for more information.
Q. When do the residency programs start?
A. The PGY1 start date is July 1, 2026 with mandatory paid orientation starting approximately three weeks prior. The PGY2 start date is July 8, 2026
Q. How long do the residency programs last?
A. Each program has a term of one year (52 weeks). The PGY1 program starts with a house staff orientation (generally 2-3 weeks prior to July 1). Incoming PGY1 residents are compensated for their additional orientation period. The PGY2 programs start on July 8th, 2026 and end on July 7th, 2027; there is no additional orientation period for incoming PGY2s.
Q. What are the salaries for your residency programs?
A. The PGY1 program salary is currently $50,538. With the paid orientation, an incoming PGY1 would earn up to $53,453 for the 55 weeks of employment. TBHC PGY2 residents currently earn $52,948 for their one year term. The salary for LIU PGY2 residents is currently $52,000. Please note that the LIU and TBHC benefits packages area slightly different. Residents follow the TBHC schedule and policies.

A: Yes, for TBHC and LIU residents, limited funding is available for up to two professional meetings if the resident is presenting. Travel stipends are handled by LIU for the LIU residents. Additional information can be found in the resident travel policy (R-013)
Q. I am not familiar with Downtown Brooklyn/Fort Greene; is there anything fun to do there?
A. Our hospital is among the oldest in NYC. The Downtown Brooklyn and Fort Greene area is a vibrant hub for arts, history, and culinary experiences. Whether you are interested in world-class performing arts, a deep dive into New York City's transit history, or a relaxing stroll through historic Fort Greene Park (adjacent to the hospital), there is something for everyone. We are only within a few blocks of the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Barclays Center, and BRIC, as well as the NYC Transit Museum, Brooklyn Paramount Theatre, and many other attractions.
Q. Is the hospital easy to get to?
A. Yes; we are walking distance from over 10 subway lines and the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) providing easy access from most anywhere in NYC area.
Q. Did you early commit for any PGY2 programs?
A. We have an early commitment process that takes place in November. Decisions are made prior to our recruiting activities at the ASHP Midyear. for 2026-2027, we early committed with four residents.
Q. Does your hospital sponsor visas?
A. No. TBHC does not typically sponsor visas. If you are currently on a visa, you must be able to demonstrate to us that your visa will allow you to work as a resident up to and including the last day of each program (June 30th for PGY1 and July 8 for PGY2). If not, you would be in violation of our residency agreement and thus, would not be eligible for candidacy in our program. If you are seeking a residency through a visa, please contact the Residency Program Director directly to discuss options.
Q. Were there be any significant changes to the program(s) this coming year?
A. In 2023, we reduced the frequency of the in-house on-call program. PGY1 Residents can generally expect to be on-call once per week from 8 AM to 8 PM (12 hours). Some of those shifts may be converted to overnight (24 hours) on average one to two shifts per month (14 to 24 per year). This is a dramatic reduction to the former on-call program that included approximately 60 overnight (24 hour) shifts done by previous residency classes. This change was in response to feedback from our residents. No major changes are anticipated for 2026.
Q. What are the potential interview dates for Phase II?
A. This remains TBD at this time. We will NOT be interviewing on April 9th or 10th, as this conflicts with our state pharmacy organization conference. Interviews will typically take place in the afternoon (Eastern Time).
Q. What is the interview process like?
A. The interview itinerary provides candidates with an opportunity to meet the core faculty for the program. Candidates will meet three different groups of faculty who will discuss everything from your learning style to your clinical reasoning and previous application of those skills. Candidates will also be asked to evaluate a standardized patient case and write a SOAP-style note addressing a pharmacotherapeutic care plan for the patient. All evaluations are evaluated objectively. You will also have an opportunity to meet the current residents and ask plenty of questions of both the residents and faculty.
Q. TBHC is a safety-net hospital, what does that mean and does it mean that the hospital is financially unstable?
A. A safety-net hospital serves a disproportionately high percentage of patients who are on public-assistance, or who are otherwise unable to pay for their care. All hospitals in NYS are not-for-profit institutions. The safety-net status means that, in addition to being not-for-profit, that we typically run at a financial deficit without assistance from the government. This means that we strive to provide the best, and most cost-effective care to our patients without an expectation of a profitable payment in return. Despite this challenge, the hospital is NOT financially unstable. Our leadership makes sure that our programs, our staff, and our patients have the resources that are needed to take care of our community. Pharmacy residents are integral to accomplishing this level of cost-effective care.
Q. Will there be any informational sessions for prospective residents?
A. YES. There will be a session session on Wednesday March 25th from 6 – 8 PM (EDT)
