Our Pharmacy team collaborates with healthcare providers throughout the hospital to identify the most effective medications and ensure they’re dispensed correctly and safely. Our experts take extraordinary care when preparing each of the over one million doses of medication dispensed at Montefiore Nyack Hospital each year.
Part of the Montefiore Health System, we offer a Postgraduate Year One program and a Postgraduate Year Two Residency program, which are structured to enhance the PharmD education. Read more about our PGY-1 and PGY-2 programs.
