All offers of appointment to CHA sponsored training programs are specifically conditioned upon a criminal background investigation and a negative drug test (uses workplace standards, including chain of custody, marijuana is excluded from the testing). Background checks will be carried out by an agency on behalf of CHA. By signing the background check release form, prospective trainees are consenting to a background investigation. The drug test must be completed within 10 days of matching (all costs are covered by CHA). It will be conducted at CHA Occupational Health for those residents within 20 miles of Boston. All others will be tested at an outside facility arranged by CHA.
Residents will meet monthly with a group of pharmacists who have completed PGY-1 and/or PGY-2 residencies but have not yet become formal program preceptors. These pharmacists serve as a resource and will conduct monthly workshops for residents. Please see this PDF for more detailed information on the PGY1 Pharmacy Residency Guide Role.
