The college of pharmacy offers PGY2 residency programs in ambulatory care and internal
medicine. Both programs are accredited by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists
(ASHP). The most unique aspect of the programs is the emphasis in academia as all
post-graduate trainees acquire unique skills in teaching by working with GCOP faculty
members both in the classroom and in the experiential setting. PGY2 residents will
also participate the college's teaching and learning certificate program. The residency
graduate will be well prepared for a job in academia or advanced clinical practice.
The residencies recruit during the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting both at the Personnel
Placement Service (PPS) and residency showcase. Applications are due each year on
January 5th and all applications should be made using PhORCAS.
Residency training at the Gatton College of Pharmacy (GCOP) is currently offered in
Ambulatory Care and Internal Medicine. GCOP residency programs are a member of the Tri-Cities Residency Consortium.
Lindsey Foltanski, ofLong Valley, New Jersey, has been accepted into the college’s Ambulatory Care Residency for second-year postgraduates.
She earned her bachelor’s in psychology from University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill
in 2013 and her PharmD from the Medical University of South Carolina in 2018. Lindsey
did her PGY1 pharmacy residency at Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro, North Carolina.
"Ambulatory care has been my passion since pharmacy school, and I am excited to continue
my training at ETSU. The focus on family medicine and academic involvement here is
ideal for my interests and career goals. I'm honored to work with the great team of
pharmacists and preceptors this program has to offer!"
Corey Guidry, of Raceland, Louisiana, has been accepted into the college’s Internal Medicine Residency for second-year
postgraduates. He earned his bachelor’s in biochemistry from Louisiana State University
and his PharmD from the University of Louisiana Monroe. Corey recently completed a
PGY1 pharmacy residency at the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville,
Tennessee.
“I wanted to pursue a PGY2 residency at ETSU because I knew that it would challenge
me to become a more confident practitioner, effective educator, and well-rounded individual.
I am excited to join the Gatton family and explore all that Johnson City and East
Tennessee have to offer and hope to one day practice as a clinical pharmacist while
serving as a faculty member at a college of pharmacy.”
Cameron Lanier, ofWilmington, North Carolina, has been accepted into the college’s Internal Medicine Residency for second-year
postgraduates. He earned his bachelor’s in biology from University of North Carolina—Chapel
Hill, a PharmD from Campbell University and a master’s in social and administration
science from the University of Wisconsin—Madison. Cameron did his PGY1 pharmacy residency
at Campbell University/Harnett Health in Lillington, North Carolina.
Lanier’s goal is to work as an academic clinical pharmacist.
“Ideally, I would like to be in a situation where I would have the ability to work
as a clinical pharmacist, conduct research, and teach and precept students,” he said.
Wade Tugman, ofMountain City,Tennessee, has been accepted into the Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency for second-year postgraduates.
He earned his bachelor’s in Allied Health Sciences from Milligan College in 2013 and
his PharmD from ETSU in 2017. He completed his PGY1 pharmacy residency at the Veterans
Affairs Tennessee Valley Healthcare System in Nashville.
“I wanted to return to Gatton as a pharmacy resident because of how progressive ambulatory
care pharmacy practice is in this area and also because I wanted to come back to East
Tennessee and serve the community in which I grew up,” said Tugman, who plans to work
as an ambulatory care pharmacist serving patients in the Appalachian region.
