A graduate of a PGY1 pharmacy residency program often engages in teaching opportunities either in the clinical setting, in a formal didactic setting, or with patients and family members.  A residency graduate should be prepared to accept a position within clinical practice, industry or academics.  As part of the ASHP accreditation standards for PGY1 residencies (Outcome R5.1), the resident should be able to provide effective medication and practice related education, training, or counseling to patients, caregivers, health care professionals, and the public.  To prepare the pharmacy resident for these types of roles, the SR-AHEC /(Cape Fear Valley Health Services (CFVHS) PGY1 Pharmacy Residency Program is implementing a teaching certificate program as part of the residency curriculum.  Resources at Fayetteville State University will provide the didactic component for the certificate program to be combined with the other requirements of the teaching certificate program.  

Residents must complete all assigned projects and attend the majority (80%) of the seminars at Fayetteville State University.  Upon completion, the resident will receive a certificate signed by the Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.  

Goal 

To immerse the learner (pharmacy resident) in the culture of higher education and to better equip them as preceptors, teachers, scholars, and professionals.
