Why Do I Need an ASHPaccredited Residency?
• Programs demonstrate compliance with established
standards of practice and offer a residency that meets
the requirements of training.
• For prospective residents, this process ensures that
accredited programs are peer-reviewed and that they
fulfill requirements needed to provide a state-of-theart practice environment. Likewise, prospective
employers routinely seek graduates of ASHP-accredited
residency programs since these individuals must obtain
proficiency in a set of defined outcomes and training
experiences to complete such a program.
