Clinical strengths of the program include internal medicine, oncology, critical care, cardiology, infectious diseases, nutrition support, neonatal care, pediatrics, primary care, ambulatory geriatrics, home services/hospice, and anticoagulation management. Administration rotations include inpatient and outpatient operations, informatics, specialty pharmacy, health plan leadership, executive leadership, and strategic planning. Residents participate in the Portland CityWide Residency Conferences, have the opportunity to pursue the Oregon Pharmacy Teaching Certificate (OPTC) with local Colleges of Pharmacy, and gain valuable leadership and practice management skills. Providence residency programs are built upon a tradition of excellence and commitment to developing leaders within pharmacy practice.

The University of Providence School of Health Professions is proud to offer an innovative platform that allows residents in the Providence Health and Services Oregon combined PGY1/PGY2 program to simultaneously enroll for the MHA degree. The program is designed to take advantage of efficiencies in both the residency and MHA programs. The MHA is fully funded by the residency program.
