A Welcome Message from the Department Head

Brad Phillips

On behalf of the College of Pharmacy and our practice partners, I would like to welcome you to the University of Georgia! Thank you for your interest in our programs and congratulations on making the choice to pursue residency training!

Through the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy and its practice partners, Kroger Pharmacy, Georgia Health Sciences University (GHSU) Health System in Augusta, Veterans Health Administration (VA), and Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital (PPMH), we are proud to offer several unique and challenging post graduate residency training opportunities.

All programs have attained (or are in the process of attaining) full American Society of Health- System Pharmacists (ASHP) accreditation. We encourage all those interested in learning more about our programs to contact us directly by email at the addresses provided. There is also additional information contained in this web site and at http://www.ashp.org in the ASHP Residency Program Directory.

As you review training information, please keep in mind that we are committed to your development as a direct patient care provider. Residency preceptors are practice role models who will coach you to achieve and exceed your highest potential as a pharmacist. Our purpose is to produce clinical practice leaders who will be fully prepared for the next level of practice and worthy of labels such as "practitioner," "role model," and "coach."

You have made the right choice to pursue a residency! Please contact myself, the other program directors and preceptors, and/or the current residents with any questions. We look forward to hearing from you and meeting you in person.

Good luck!
