The Teaching Certificate Program is optional for all PGY1 and PGY2 residents. The program is designed to introduce residents to academic literature, contemporary pharmacy profession education, teaching styles, and philosophies.

Through didactic participation, completion of formal teaching experiences, and the development of a teaching portfolio, participants can document their participation and experiences. Each participant who completes all program requirements will be awarded a certificate of completion at the conclusion of the year.
