PGY1 Pediatrics Residency Program
Description
Huntsville Hospital's PGY1 Residency in Pediatrics is
a 12-month program designed to provide specialized training in pediatrics and neonatal
pharmacy practice. Our innovative program combines the resources and complexity
of an 881-bed regional referral medical center with a free-standing Women and Children's Hospital.
The successful candidate will participate in providing pharmaceutical care for patients on the Women and Children's campus as well as being given the opportunity for elective experiences in the adult acute care facility.
Campus
Huntsville Hospital and UAB-Health Center occupy over
40 acres in the heart of Huntsville's Medical District. Huntsville Hospital is a 881-bed regional
referral center serving a population of over one million people. The UAB-Health Center consists
of approximately 45 medical students and 36 medical residents. Huntsville Hospital and the UAB
Medical School operate a modern medical library which is located adjacent
to the main Huntsville Hospital facility.
Features of the Women and Children's Hospital include:
- North Alabama's only Level III NICU

Residents also serve as an integral part of our ongoing staff development program and may be asked to deliver didactic lectures at Auburn University School of Pharmacy. Each resident must complete a major project and present the results at the annual Southeastern Residency Conference in Athens, Georgia.
Philosophy

and experience and is directed toward developing expert knowledge and skills
