PGY2 Ambulatory Care Program

PGY2 residency programs build upon Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency training to develop pharmacist practitioners with knowledge, skills and abilities as defined in the educational competency areas, goals and objectives for advanced practice areas. Residents who successfully complete PGY2 residency programs are prepared for advanced patient care or other specialized positions, and board certification in the advanced practice area, if available.

Parkview Physicians Group

Parkview Physicians Group (PPG) includes over 900 providers in more than 40 specialties in more than 100 locations throughout northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio. Currently, Parkview pharmacists practice in a number of specialties, including primary care, and participate in several multidisciplinary clinics.

Comprehensive Medication Management Clinic (CMMC)

Parkview’s CMMC, formerly known as the Anticoagulation Therapy Unit (ATU), has provided anticoagulation management to the northeast Indiana region for over 20 years. Established in 1995, the various clinics serve over 3,300 patients annually for anticoagulation education and management. The ATU also has a patient self-testing program, where patients can receive a meter and test strips through Parkview’s ATU with warfarin management by our highly-trained pharmacists.

Parkview Heart Institute

As the region’s only dedicated heart hospital, Parkview Heart Institute is focused on prevention, early detection and treatment of heart disease. Specialized cardiac ICU, acute care and accredited congestive heart failure and cardiac rehabilitation centers are all together in one location. Outpatient specialty clinics support patients with vascular, valve, hypertension, lipid and genetics-related heart conditions. Pharmacists are integrated in both the inpatient and ambulatory settings, with a focus on heart failure, hypertension, and lipids in the ambulatory clinics.
