Pharmacy Residency Program

AdventHealth Sebring — part of the AdventHealth network — is located in Florida's Heartland region, which includes Highlands and Hardee counties. Our Sebring hospital delivers whole-person health care to multiple communities as part of AdventHealth’s network of more than 50 hospital campuses nationwide.

AdventHealth Sebring serves as the primary practice site for our pharmacy residency program. The Sebring location has an active emergency room and is the site of the only Primary Stroke Center in the Heartland. We are a full-service medical and surgical acute care center, including birthing services.

Nearby AdventHealth Wauchula, a critical access skilled nursing facility, is the area’s only transitional care unit and home to the only emergency department in Hardee County.

The pharmacy department works closely with providers to provide exceptional care to our community. Clinical pharmacists are integral team members and are heavily involved in the inpatient management of pharmacokinetics, anticoagulation and therapeutic drug monitoring. Our pharmacy participates in multiple local and corporate committees, including Medication Safety, Antimicrobial Stewardship, P and T, Stroke, Code Blue, Readmissions and Falls.

PGY-1 residents participate in a variety of experiences including, but not limited to, internal medicine, cardiology, critical care, antimicrobial stewardship, research, medication management and safety, hospital operations, hospital administration and transitional care services.
