"The Walgreens and Ferris State University College of Pharmacy PGY1 Community-Based Pharmacy Residency aims to develop advanced community pharmacists who will provide direct patient care to a variety of patient populations, collaborate with other healthcare professions to optimize patient outcomes, and incorporate patient care activities into daily workflow of a community pharmacy.
