Residency Description:

• Kings Pharmacy has been an established independent pharmacy in the Brooklyn area for almost 70 years. Patient satisfaction is our number 1 goal. Kings includes a highly professional staff of pharmacists who are specially trained and certified in disease state management. We currently have an ADA-recognized Diabetes Management Program, Medication Therapy Management, Cardiovascular Risk Assessment and Hepatitis C Patient Education. In addition, Kings has a compounding department that has the ability to provide IV, oral, and veterinary compounds.
  Our program provides an array of opportunities to advance the profession of pharmacy. Kings has a private conference room where patient counseling
  and disease state management programs are held for patients several times
  a month. Kings is also planning on providing influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations for this upcoming season. All vaccinations will be provided
  by our pharmacists who are certified to provide these immunizations by
  New York State.

• Long Island University which Kings is affiliated with, has designated our pharmacy as an ambulatory care site for their 6th year Pharm.D. students
  who are on their clinical rotations. Kings has expanded these opportunities
  by offering their resources to a one-year community pharmacy residency program, which is now in its third year. It is with these additional assets that Kings is able to provide such extensive patient care.
  Our residency program is now accredited by ASHP and we participate in the yearly residency match service. The resident will obtain in depth training in a wide variety of pharmacy practice areas with a focus on out-patient pharmacy. The resident and the preceptor will develop and implement specific projects to provide learning experiences consistent with the program.
