Career Center

This comprehensive program provides training experiences in the fundamentals of pharmacy practice in an integrated health system. An individualized training plan, based on the resident’s entering level of knowledge, skills, and interests, is developed and adjusted throughout the year. While developing competence to provide patient-centered care in multiple patient care environments, PGY1 residents acquire substantial knowledge required for skillful problem solving and strengthen their professional values. Residents have direct patient care opportunities in identifying and resolving  drug-related problems while completing required training in internal medicine, infectious disease, ambulatory care, cardiology, critical care, emergency medicine, and research, primarily at Moses Cone Hospital. A variety of clinical learning experiences are offered throughout the ambulatory services division of Cone Health, where their  experiences may include providing tobacco cessation counseling, testing pulmonary  function, and managing chronic diseases such as PVD, HIV, heart failure, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, cardiac arrhythmias, and thromboembolic disorders. Residents may select up to three electives (for example: ID Clinic, neuro critical care, nutrition support, heart failure service, nephrology, oncology, neonatology, or  pediatrics).

Each resident completes a research project, conducts a medication use evaluation, responds to emergencies like cardiac arrests, learns formulary and medication safety processes, participates in multidisciplinary committees, and serves on one or two of the departmental quality teams. Additionally, all residents provide ACPE CE programs to  pharmacy providers and teach in the evidence-based medicine curriculum. A teaching  and learning certificate is offered in collaboration with the UNC Eshelman School of  Pharmacy. The residents, along with a Cone Health preceptor, are responsible for  precepting students from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, High Point  University, and Campbell University.

Our integrated multi-campus pharmacy division works as a strategic partner with  providers to drive medication-related evidence-based clinical care decisions and  business outcomes. We educate all members of the clinical team on appropriate and  safe medication use. Pharmacists are active participants in the Cone Health Centers of  Excellence in cardiology, oncology, neurosciences, behavioral health, and women’s health. Decentralized, service-based pharmacists integrate obtaining electronic  medication admission histories and pharmaceutical care with managing drug therapy;  teaching patients, pharmacy learners, and physicians; and conducting research in HIV,  oncology, critical care, and cardiology. Projects for the upcoming year include  optimizing pharmacy operations in our state-of-the-art facility, enhancing robotics in  the sterile products area, implementing Lean principles intended to reduce waste and  improve patient experiences, advancing collaborative pharmacist-physician practice  throughout our system-wide specialty pharmacy division, and expanding meds-to-bed  transitions of care program. Cone Health pharmacy departments offer PGY2 residency  training in cardiology, critical care, infectious diseases, oncology, pediatrics, and a  PGY1/PGY2 health-system pharmacy administration and leadership program that  grants an M.S. degree from the University of North Carolina Eshelman School of  Pharmacy.

Cone Health combines the best features of innovation and education from its many  teaching programs with the atmosphere of a community hospital setting. You will find  Greensboro to be a warm, community-focused city nestled in the lush beauty of North  Carolina. The mountains are only two hours west and the coast only three hours east,  providing weekend getaways within easy driving distance.
