Endeavor Health NorthShore Hospitals (formerly known as NorthShore University HealthSystem) has six residency programs:
Post Graduate Year 1 (PGY1) Programs
Post Graduate Year 2 (PGY2) Programs
The Pharmacy Department
The Pharmacy Department provides a variety of services across the continuum of care. Inpatient services are provided by decentralized (unit-based) pharmacists. Distribution is through automated dispensing cabinets and centralized IV preparation.
Ambulatory services are currently provided through our outpatient pharmacies, oncology clinic pharmacies, home infusion pharmacy, anticoagulation clinics, and general medicine clinic.
Our philosophy is that all pharmacists need to be in a position to promote pharmaceutical care by:
- Influencing drug-therapy decisions
- Educating health care professionals and students
- Ensuring appropriate drug therapy outcomes
- Educating patients to ensure positive outcomes of drug therapy
We begin accepting applications in the fall of each year. Thank you for your interest in our training programs.
