PGY1 Pharmacy West Los Angeles, California
The PGY1 pharmacy residency program builds on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education. The program contributes 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.
Pharmacy Services
The Pharmacy Services at West Los Angeles offer a wide variety of pharmacist-run programs such as primary care, oncology, renal, and inpatient services. Our pharmacists work under medical staff approved protocols, perform physical assessments, order labs, and initiate or adjust medications based on clinical judgment. We work as part of a true integrated health care team of physicians, nurses and other health care providers. Our outpatient, ambulatory care, and inpatient pharmacies offer a variety of clinical services in progressive practice settings. Our hospital facility is fully automated with Pyxis automated medication dispensing machines, bar code medication administration at the bedside and a complete electronic health record with computerized physician order entry (CPOE).
