To describe the development and perception of a multiple-site nontraditional postgraduate year 1 (PGY1) residency program from the resident and preceptor perspectives.
A multiple-site nontraditional residency program was developed within a Florida health system to increase the education level and clinical responsibilities of hospital staff pharmacists. The program provided pharmacists interested in residency training an opportunity to pursue postgraduate credentials while maintaining their current position. The nontraditional residency program was implemented at 1 site and subsequently expanded across multiple affiliated hospital sites due to its success. Pharmacists currently working in the health system's network of hospitals for at least 2 years were eligible to enter into the 24-month program after successfully completing the application, interview, and matching process. The number of nontraditional resident positions available has varied by residency year and site. Offering this opportunity has increased the clinical knowledge of pharmacists, exposed them to a variety of practice areas, and increased their departmental contributions. In response to a request for feedback regarding the multiple-site nontraditional program, both residents and preceptors have reported benefits and challenges.
Adequate resources are needed and a number of factors must be considered in developing a multiple-site nontraditional PGY1 residency program. Although there are potential challenges, it is perceived that the benefits justify continuation of the program.
从住院医师和导师的角度描述一个多站点非传统住院医师 1 年（PGY1）培训项目的发展和认知。
在佛罗里达卫生系统内开发了一个多站点非传统住院医师培训计划，以提高医院药师的教育水平和临床职责。该计划为有兴趣接受住院医师培训的药师提供了一个在保持当前职位的同时获得研究生学历的机会。由于该计划的成功，非传统住院医师培训计划在一个站点实施后，随后在多个附属医院站点扩展。在卫生系统的医院网络中至少工作 2 年的药师，在成功完成申请、面试和匹配过程后，有资格参加为期 24 个月的计划。非传统住院医师职位的数量因住院医师年份和站点而异。提供这种机会增加了药师的临床知识，使他们接触到各种实践领域，并增加了他们在部门的贡献。为了回应对多站点非传统计划的反馈请求，住院医师和导师都报告了该计划的好处和挑战。
在开发多站点非传统 PGY1 住院医师培训计划时，需要足够的资源，并需要考虑许多因素。尽管存在潜在挑战，但人们认为该计划的好处证明其继续存在是合理的。
