Pharmacy residency training at Grady was established in 1996.  Residents participate in a 24-hour in house on-call program unique to only a few programs nationally.  In this capacity, residents are responsible for addressing drug information questions, responding to pharmacokinetic consults, anticoagulation consults, and participating as a member of the Code Blue Response and Stroke Response teams.   All residency programs consist of training and experience under the preceptorship of full-time Grady-employed Clinical Pharmacists.  All members of the clinical staff have a one or two years of residency training from an accredited program.   The PGY-1 Pharmacy Residency training year is mid-June through June 30 of the following year.
