The purpose of the Banner - University Medical Center Tucson (BUMCT) PGY1 residency program (est. 1975) is to foster the development of a well-rounded healthcare professional in an acute care setting. Specific program goals include expanding clinical skills and knowledge, improving written and verbal communication skills, developing problem solving, research and leadership skills and demonstrating professionalism as an integral member of the healthcare team. Our mission is to prepare residents for various career paths within the profession. While the primary focus is to develop a core competency level as a clinical pharmacy practitioner, it is also imperative our residents excel in refining other skills (e.g., communication, research, leadership, etc.) to meet the changing demands of the profession and the evolving healthcare industry.
