From Oakland's thriving food and arts scene to Berkeley's historic neighborhoods and the scenic parks and trails throughout the region, residents enjoy a wide variety of experiences outside of work. Convenient access to BART and major highways makes commuting between training sites straightforward, while proximity to San Francisco, Napa Valley, Lake Tahoe, and the California coast provides endless opportunities for weekend adventures. With diverse communities, abundant outdoor recreation, and a lower cost of living than many neighboring Bay Area communities, the East Bay is an exceptional place to live and train during residency. ### Contact Us **Residency Program Director:** Cynthia Cheung, PharmD, BCCCP [cynthia.cheung@sutterhealth.org](mailto:cynthia.cheung@sutterhealth.org) **Current PGY-1 Residents:** Andre Dang [Andre.Dang@sutterhealth.org](mailto:Andre.Dang@sutterhealth.org) Anthony Jiang [Anthony.Jiang@sutterhealth.org](mailto:Anthony.Jiang@sutterhealth.org) Sukhvinder Nijjar [Sukhvinder.Nijjar2@sutterhealth.org](mailto:Sukhvinder.Nijjar2@sutterhealth.org) Sang Vuong [Sang.Vuong@sutterhealth.org](mailto:Sang.Vuong@sutterhealth.org) [Apply Now](https://www.sutterhealth.org/education/pharmacy-residency/east-bay-pgy-1/apply) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"MedicalOrganization","name":"Sutter Health","@id":"https://www.sutterhealth.org/#medicalorganization","url":"https://www.sutterhealth.org","logo":"https://www.sutterhealth.org/static/images/sutter-health-logo.svg","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"2200 River Plaza Drive","addressLocality":"Sacramento","addressRegion":"CA","postalCode":"95833","addressCountry":"US"},"areaServed":{"@type":"AdministrativeArea","name":"California"},"sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/SutterHealth","https://www.instagram.com/sutterhealth/","https://x.com/SutterHealth","https://www.youtube.com/sutterhealth","https://www.linkedin.com/company/sutter-health","https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutter_Health"]} ``` ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"WebPage","name":"Sutter Health East Bay Pharmacy PGY-1 Residency at Sutter Health","description":"The East Bay Pharmacy PGY-1 Residency at Sutter Health features a high level of patient care responsibility in an academic, university-affiliated hospital environment.","url":"https://www.sutterhealth.org/education/pharmacy-residency/east-bay-pgy-1","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://www.sutterhealth.org/education/pharmacy-residency/east-bay-pgy-1#breadcrumblist"}} ``` ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://www.sutterhealth.org/education/pharmacy-residency/east-bay-pgy-1#breadcrumblist","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://www.sutterhealth.org/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Education","item":"https://www.sutterhealth.org/education"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Pharmacy","item":"https://www.sutterhealth.org/education/pharmacy-residency"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Pharmacy PGY-1, East Bay"}]} ```
