Postgraduate year one (PGY1) community-based pharmacy residency programs are intended to build upon the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and outcomes. The goal of the residency program is to develop community-based pharmacist practitioners with diverse patient care, leadership, and education skills. This commentary will inform faculty mentors about the history, evolution, structure, and design of PGY1 community-based pharmacy residency programs. This commentary will also review the equivalency of PGY1 community-based pharmacy residency programs to other PGY1 programs, specifically to PGY1 pharmacy programs typically administered in hospitals and health systems. Faculty who are knowledgeable about PGY1 community-based pharmacy residency programs will be able to provide mentorship and promotion for student pharmacists who are interested in direct patient care.
