This PGY2 Pharmacy Residency in Geriatrics is offered by Mountain Area Health Education Center in partnership with the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy Asheville Campus. This program is led by pharmacists with extensive experience in geriatric pharmacy practice, academics, and leadership.
The goal of the program is to develop geriatric pharmacotherapy specialists with strong teaching and leadership skills who provide exceptional patient care services for older adults and teach multiple disciplines about the needs of the aging population.
The robust curriculum is longitudinal and includes learning experiences in innovative, inter-professional environments including:
- Primary care clinics within Continuing Care Retirement Communities
- Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)
- Long term care
- Hospice and palliative care
- Memory care clinic
- Osteoporosis clinic
- Geropsychiatry
Effective teaching is emphasized, and opportunities exist in layered learning practice environments as well as in a geriatrics elective course for student pharmacists. Residents will participate in monthly academic leadership sessions with other PGY2 residents to hone their active learning expertise.
Asheville is a premiere travel destination that is nestled in the mountains of Western North Carolina and offers fine dining, outdoor activities such as hiking and paddling, and a dynamic art and music scene.
