About the Pharmacy Department

At UMass Memorial Medical Center, the clinical partner of UMass Chan Medical School, pharmacy residents train in a large academic medical center where they care for diverse patient populations, collaborate with nationally recognized interdisciplinary teams and gain experience across a broad range of clinical, operational and specialty pharmacy settings. With more than 300 pharmacy professionals supporting care across five campuses, residents are immersed in one of the most comprehensive pharmacy practice environments in Central Massachusetts and beyond.
