Parkridge Health System consists of 5 facilities in the Chattanooga Area.

System wide there are 557 beds when an average daily census of 346. Parkridge Medical Center has 130 beds, and is where the bulk of training will occur. Upon hire, the resident will comply with the facility HR requirements which include (but not limited to) background check, finger printing, immunizations, etc.

Postgraduate Year One (PGY1) Pharmacy Residency Program

PGY1 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm D) education and outcomes to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions, eligible for board certification, and eligible for postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency training. The 12 month residency program at PHS is designed for residents to gain exposure to varied areas of pharmacy practice in a community hospital setting. Residents will monitor and manage patient care regimens, round with physicians and interdisciplinary teams, present drug monographs and medication use evaluations at P&T, gather and disseminate drug information, present patient cases and journal clubs to pharmacy staff, present a Fall/Spring educational seminar and develop pharmacy management skills including process improvements. Residents will also conduct an original research project, help precept students from pharmacy schools in Tennessee and Georgia and participate in the staffing and distribution of pharmacy services. We also require participation in a teaching and learning certificate program for completion of the residency program. Residents will have the opportunity to attend ASHP Midyear meeting, TSHP Winter meeting, and the Southeastern Residency Conference for research presentation purposes and networking. In addition, Chattanooga is famous for its outdoor scene with ample opportunity for hiking, biking, and camping.

We’ve heard that an individual or individuals impersonating an HCA Healthcare hiring manager may be conducting online “interviews” and attempting to convince people to send money, supposedly to purchase equipment or set up payroll direct deposit as part of the hiring process. Rest assured, HCA Healthcare and its affiliates never do business in this manner. We do NOT solicit payments or payment information from candidates. If you are contacted by anyone requesting payment from you to get a job with HCA Healthcare, please don’t respond.
