Located in "America's finest city" of San Diego, our academic Health System serves as a primary teaching site of UC San Diego Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences IPPE and APPE students, UC San Diego School of Medicine and other professional programs in the health sciences. Residents may rotate at the UCSD Medical Center in Hillcrest, Jacobs Medical Center in La Jolla, Moores Cancer Center, an NCI designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center, all of which support a full range and scope of medical and surgical specialties as well as general medicine and surgery units. We have over 25 electives to offer resident, with extensive critical care, transplant, oncology, psychiatry, transitions of care, and internal medicine experiences available. We offer residents a wonderful learning environment that will help them prepare for advanced specialty PGY2 residencies and for career paths in academia, hospital practice (teaching and community), transitions of care, internal medicine, ambulatory care, IT, administration and more. Residents are an integral and active member of multidisciplinary teams that provide direct patient care. Residents participate in the San Diego Pharmacy Residency Leadership Teaching Certificate program and attend CSHP Seminar, ASHP Midyear and the UC Collaborative Pharmacy Research Conference. Residents are invited to present their research as posters at the Vizient University Health System Consortium Pharmacy Council meeting held immediately preceding the ASHP Midyear. We have dedicated, smart, supportive preceptors and a foundation of required and elective rotations to help the resident find their niche and pursue their passion in areas of interest. Our preceptors, administrators and staff support the resident as they develop and apply clinical patient care and research skills; confidence builds over the course of the year along with a strong clinical foundation and independence. The residents' post-residency marketability is one of our primary goals and we believe that our core requirements, electives, staffing component and teaching certificate program prepare the resident to be highly competitive in the pharmacy job market - a strong contender regardless of the career path that the resident chooses.
