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. These programs will build upon Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and outcomes to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions, eligible for board certification, and eligible for postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency training.

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 PHASE 2 applications due in PhorCas?
A. The application deadline is March 22, 2023 11:59 PM EST

Q. Which programs will be available in PHASE 2 of the match?
A. The PGY1 program and the Ambulatory Care PGY2 programs will be accepting applications in Phase 2.

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, 2023 with mandatory paid orientation starting approximately three weeks prior. The PGY2 start date is July 6, 2023 

Q. Did you early commit for any PGY2 programs this year?
A. We are recruiting for ALL PGY2 programs. Infectious Diseases, Emergency Medicine and Ambulatory Care.

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 June 30th of your graduating year. 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. Will there be any significant changes to the program(s) this coming year?
A. YES! We have 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.
