St. Vincent’s Pharmacy Residency Programs are accredited by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP). Our programs are designed to facilitate the development of new pharmacists into competent practitioners able to provide patient-centered pharmaceutical care. Our programs are designed to foster the residents’ ability to work in multidisciplinary teams, develop leadership skills, and become lifelong, self-directed learners. The foundation of these programs is built upon Hartford Healthcare’s core values of Caring, Safety, Excellence, and Integrity.
