The Postgraduate Year One (PGY-1) Pharmacy Residency Program at Mount Sinai Brooklyn (MSB) is accredited by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. We offer two PGY-1 pharmacy residency positions.
The Department’s philosophy upholds the concept of “pharmaceutical care,” which recognizes the pharmacist’s contribution to patient care. The 12-month diverse program, beginning July 1, offers our residents opportunities to become involved in many areas of clinical practice.
We are committed to providing an outstanding postgraduate residency training program. The program provides experience in the clinical, administration, information technology, and academic aspects of pharmacy.

Our Pharmacy Department
The Mount Sinai Brooklyn Pharmacy Department embraces and adapts new technology to improve patient care. Recent renovations incorporate state-of-the-art USP 797 and USP 800 compliant rooms. In addition, the department utilizes the Pyxis system for medication management. The hospital uses the Epic electronic medical record system and the Willow Inventory feature to track the movement and inventory of medicine throughout the hospital. Mount Sinai Brooklyn has also started our own full-time ambulatory infusion practice, in which pharmacy plays an integral role in admixing and delivering chemotherapy and therapeutic infusions.
