Purpose

About the Program
The Post-Graduate Year One (PGY1) Community-Based Pharmacy Residency Program (CPRP) at USC Mann was established in 1999. It is one of the oldest and largest accredited community-based pharmacy residency programs in the nation.
Our program balances experiences in traditional ambulatory care, pharmacy operations, teaching, project management, and pharmacy administration. We offer unique perspectives on the practice of pharmacy and emphasize areas such as clinical practice, teaching, research and project management, collaborative practice development, entrepreneurship, leadership, and community service.
The mission is to develop pharmacists who are skilled patient care providers, educators, scholars and leaders in advancing the practice of pharmacy. Community-based pharmacy practitioners and advanced practice pharmacists are community-focused practice leaders capable of improving the health of patients within the communities they serve wherever health and medication needs arise.
Due to the broad range of experiences, our residents have obtained positions in academia, ambulatory care, community pharmacy management, pharmacy administration, and community pharmacy ownership.
Our program is a multisite program with primary practice site locations across the Los Angeles and Orange County areas:
- USC Pharmacies and Affiliated Clinics
- Ralphs Pharmacy (a division of The Kroger Company)
- CliniCare Pharmacy (independent pharmacy)
- Keck Medicine of USC Specialty Pharmacy
