I am excited to share that we are now recruiting for the third cohort of our combined PGY1 Pharmacy & PGY2 Corporate Pharmacy Administration and Leadership (CPAL) with Masters residency program. Cencora (formerly AmerisourceBergen) has partnered with four ASHP-accredited PGY1 programs to create this comprehensive two-year residency, designed to equip residents with the skills necessary for success as future leaders in corporate pharmacy, focusing specifically on pharmacy supply chain management. This distinctive residency program began in July 2025, and the third cohort of five residents will start in July 2027, with partnerships at:
- Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
- Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center
- Henry Ford Hospital (two positions)
- UC Davis Medical Center
Throughout the program, residents will gain in-depth knowledge and engage in essential supply chain activities critical to pharmacy practice. These activities will cover key topics such as:
- Pharmacy supply chain principles
- Understanding the stakeholder ecosystem
- Wholesaler distribution and economics
- Health system leadership
- Drug shortage strategies
- Inventory management
- 340B contracting
- Medication cost management strategies
