The PGY2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency is a 12-month program that provides specialized training in ambulatory care. The longitudinal practice site for the program is the Turley Family Health Center. Our program is integrated with the USF-MPM Family Medicine Residency and is designed for residents to interact with other healthcare providers in the setting of a Patient-Centered Medical Home. We have a broad primary care population, including pediatrics and geriatrics. We strive to improve patient outcomes by promoting collaboration and interprofessional education.
The PGY2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Program
PGY2 pharmacy residency programs are built on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in specialized areas of practice. PGY2 residencies provide residents with opportunities to function independently as practitioners by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge and incorporating both into the provision of patient care or other advanced practice settings. Residents who successfully complete an accredited PGY2 pharmacy residency are prepared for advanced patient care, academic, or other specialized positions, along with board certification.
Program Summary:
The Turley Family Health Center emphasizes a team-based approach in preventive care and advanced medication management for acute and chronic health conditions encountered in the ambulatory setting.

PGY2 (Amb Care) - Turley Family Medical Center
Why did I choose to complete a residency?
While in pharmacy school, I had the opportunity to be exposed to different specialties in pharmacy. From the moment I stepped into an ambulatory care clinic, I knew I wanted to be an ambulatory care pharmacist. The opportunity to work hand-in-hand with providers to optimize patients’ medication therapies and outcomes is a unique and rewarding experience. I chose to complete a PGY2 Ambulatory Care residency to further develop my skills in chronic disease management. The structure and direct patient care experiences at this residency were exactly what I was looking for in my pursuit to challenge and strengthen my skills to provide exceptional care.
Why did I choose Turley Family Medical Center at BayCare?
I have numerous colleagues who work at BayCare and speak highly of the culture of comradery and respect within the system. When visualizing where I wanted to continue my pharmacy training, I envisioned an organization with a strong reputation and support system that provides integrated care and prioritizes patient safety and quality of services. I chose BayCare as it was evident that the organization embodies what I was looking for, and I am proud I will be called a member of the BayCare team.
