PGY2 Competency Areas

Postgraduate Year Two Pharmacy Residency Training in Advanced Areas of Pharmacy Practice - Competency Areas, Goals, and Objectives (CAGO)

The PGY2 CAGOs are designed to advance the residents’ level of practice beyond PGY1 training, to facilitate additional growth and skillset development, by elevating objectives’ taxonomy levels. Programs develop activities specific to the learning experiences to facilitate the achievement of the objectives. Listed below are the active PGY2 CAGOs for each discipline recognized by ASHP. Some additional resources are available for reference, as workgroups with experts in each practice area develop documents that align with newly revised and approved PGY2 CAGOs. Revisions of the PGY2 CAGOs are ongoing until all PGY2 recognized disciplines have been updated.
