College of Pharmacy Adds 11th Affiliated Pharmacy Residency Program

The University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy (UKCOP) is adding its 11th affiliated pharmacy residency program through its partnership with The Medical Center at Bowling Green. The program is being spearheaded by UKCOP alumni Glee Lenoir (BS 1988, PharmD 1994) and Caleb Benningfield (PharmD 2008) who are excited for the opportunity to combine the strengths of both The Medical Center and UKCOP.

“This new pharmacy residency partnership will enhance the clinical pharmacy experience at The Medical Center at Bowling Green. The collaboration of innovative teaching and research at the University of Kentucky with Med Center Health will help to train pharmacy leaders who are ready to advance the practice of pharmacy and improve access to high quality medical care across Kentucky,” said Lenoir.

The addition of the newest residency will bring the total number of UKCOP-affiliated pharmacy residents across the Commonwealth to 54. Bowling Green will recruit two PGY1 pharmacy residency positions to begin July 2021.

“This is an exciting opportunity for students to be a part of a progressive hospital committed to the kind of values, forward thinking, and strategy that UKCOP instills in everyone. This affiliation with UKCOP provides an opportunity to align UKCOP’s brand of high quality, patient-centered care with Med Center Health’s mission to care for people and improve the quality of life in the communities we serve.  This partnership is a tremendous accomplishment for everyone involved,” said Benningfield.
