PGY2 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency training to develop pharmacist practitioners with knowledge, skills, and abilities as defined in the educational competency areas, goals, and objectives for advanced practice areas. Residents who successfully complete PGY2 residency programs are prepared for advanced patient care or other specialized positions and board certification.
The purpose of the PGY2 Pediatric Pharmacy Residency at Children’s National Hospital is to provide learning experiences centered on patient care and practice management that will enable residency graduates to pursue board certification in pediatric pharmacy (BCPPS) and an advanced clinical pharmacist and clinical specialist positions in pediatrics after completion of the program. The residency program will also provide teaching opportunities and optional teaching certificate that will develop pedagogical skills in the context of adjunct faculty appointment with affiliated pharmacy schools.

Over 100 pharmacists have completed a residency at Children’s National since the start of the program in 1980. Children’s National is a participating member of the ASHP Residency Matching Program.
