24-Month pharmacotherapy residency: The what and how behind these programs

Minimal information is available comparing 24-month pharmacotherapy programs, providing a barrier to interested students, student mentors, and potential residency program directors. While diversity exists between required and elective experiences, all offer a mix of acute and ambulatory care clinical experiences. Graduates are equipped with diverse experiences, allowing versatility in the delivery of patient care. Additionally, residents are often afforded the opportunity to participate in teaching, service, and scholarship.
