The hospital operates one of the largest, most advanced neonatal intensive care units in the country. Our state-designated Regional Perinatal Center is renowned throughout New Jersey for the exceptional level of high-risk maternity and neonatal care provided and was recognized by Newsweek as one of the nation’s Best Maternity Hospitals for 2022. Each year we care for over 15,000 women from the tri-state region and deliver more than 5,000 babies. The Dorothy B.

The PGY2 Pharmacy Residency Program at Saint Peter’s University Hospital is designed to provide a broad exposure to patient care in a goal-oriented, interactive teaching environment. Experience and knowledge are developed through learning experiences with highly skilled pharmacy and non-pharmacy preceptors dedicated to patient care and education. Flexibility allows residents to tailor learning experiences to meet their individual interests and career goals. Residents will complete a major project aimed at improving pharmaceutical care within the institution as well as participate in medication use evaluations and multidisciplinary committees. Pediatric pharmacy residents at Saint Peter’s gain teaching experience by serving as co-preceptors for pharmacy students and PGY1 pharmacy residents; and providing continuing education for pharmacists and members of the health care team. Residents interested in strengthening their skills in presenting lectures and precepting students may participate in didactic lectures and a teaching certificate program at Rutgers University, Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy. Residents who successfully complete an accredited PGY2 pharmacy residency are prepared for advanced patient care, academic, or other specialized positions, along with board certification.
The PGY2 Pediatric Pharmacy Residency Program conducted by Saint Peter’s University Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey is accredited by ASHP.
