Pharmacy Residency

Welcome to the UC San Diego Health pharmacy residency program. We have a long and proud tradition of training pharmacy residents.

Our graduates have been changing pharmacy practice through innovative patient care for over 35 years. Built on that tradition, we offer two PGY1 programs and eight PGY2 programs. Each of them has their foundation in our organizational excellence, and their strength in our many outstanding preceptors.

All this is right in the middle of the top health system in San Diego, one of the top five in California. I will let you read what others say about our organization. Did I mention that San Diego is America's Finest City?

I hope that you will take a little time to explore our programs, and get a feel for how we can help you on your unique career path. I look forward to meeting many of you in the future. Let me know if I can help you learn more about UC San Diego Pharmacy residencies. You can follow me on Twitter @daniels_ced
