On July 1, 2018, two 黑料传送门 School of Pharmacy graduates began a Post Graduate Year One (PGY1) pharmacy practice residency, a partnership between the 黑料传送门 School of Pharmacy in Suwanee, Georgia, and Wellstar North Fulton in Roswell, Georgia.

Dr. Khaki said, 鈥淚 really enjoy the challenging nature of working as part of a multidisciplinary team focused on tackling complex clinical cases.鈥�
Her plans are to become board certified in critical care and eventually to become a clinical assistant professor involved in research, precepting pharmacy students and residents, and assisting in educating other healthcare professionals in a clinical setting.
She said, 鈥淚 was impressed by the way 黑料传送门 preceptors were invested in the development of students and residents.鈥�
Dr. Avery plans to become a board certified pharmacotherapy specialist, to practice as a clinical pharmacist and to one day pursue a career in academia.
She said, 鈥淚 am excited to be a part of this residency program because GA-黑料传送门 feels like home to me. I have been fortunate to learn from faculty during my four years here and look forward to working alongside them as colleagues.鈥�
The PGY1 residency program builds on educational outcomes from doctor of pharmacy programs, while contributing to the development of clinical pharmacists who will be responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions. This training prepares residents for board certification and for PGY2 pharmacy residency training.
The program operates under the direction of Residency Program Director Samuel John, PharmD, BCPS, an associate professor in the department of pharmacy practice at 黑料传送门 School of Pharmacy.
