| Hello Class of 2026, I hope you’re all doing well and feeling proud of how far you’ve come in your APPE year. As you look ahead to the next step in your pharmacy journey, I wanted to share an update from us at Winchester Medical Center. Our PGY1 Pharmacy Residency Program will be participating in Phase II of the ASHP Match, and we’d love to connect with any of you who are still exploring residency options. We are currently recruiting for one (of two total) positions. At Winchester Medical Center, we’re proud of the supportive, close‑knit learning environment we’ve built. Our residents gain broad clinical experience, individualized mentorship, and opportunities to grow as confident, well‑rounded practitioners. We also have a strong history of helping our PGY1 residents successfully match into PGY2 programs or transition into clinical pharmacist positions after graduation. You can find examples of our graduates’ post‑residency paths on our website. More information about our program can be found here: https://www.valleyhealthlink.com/careers/learning-opportunities/pharmacy-residency/ If you have questions about Phase II, our program structure, or whether we might be a good fit for your goals, please feel free to reach out. We’re always happy to talk with students and help you navigate this next stage. Wishing you all the best as you finish your rotations and prepare for graduation, an exciting milestone that’s just around the corner! Warm regards, Charisa Flaherty, Pharm.D., BCPPS Women and Children’s Pharmacist PGY1 – Pharmacy Residency Program Director Winchester Medical Center 1840 Amherst St Winchester, VA 22601 540-536-3490 cflahert@valleyhealthlink.com |
