Post-Graduate Residency Training
Regis University School of Pharmacy graduates have performed extremely well in the post-graduate match process. For the past two years, graduates from Regis University School of Pharmacy have matched with American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP) accredited postgraduate year-1 (PGY1) residency programs at a higher rate than the national average.
Residency training is an increasingly popular way to acquire post-graduate experience in many areas of pharmacy and pharmacy practice. As health care demands more advanced patient care skills, therapeutic knowledge and practice management expertise, pharmacy students and pharmacists from across the country will be seeking residency positions. Regis University School of Pharmacy (SOP) has collaborated with several health care organizations in the Denver area to develop a number of post-graduate residency training programs that meet our mission and vision to develop leaders in the profession of pharmacy.
