The Inova PGY2 ambulatory care residency program was started in 2018 as a partnership with Shenandoah University School of Pharmacy.

Training opportunities include but are not limited to: primary care, clinically integrated network, specialty pharmacy, cardiology, endocrinology, oncology, administration, academia, and transitions of care.
The Inova Health System is a fully integrated health system with a strong clinically integrated network of physicians, robust population health management programs, and a joint-ventured health plan with Aetna, Innovation Health.

Dr. Lauren Warren is the PGY-2 ambulatory care pharmacy resident at the Inova Health System. She is most recently from Colorado and attended the University of Colorado Skaggs School of Pharmacy. After graduating in 2020, she became the pharmacy manager for an independent pharmacy in rural Colorado. While there, she was able to take the lead on starting many programs and she is most proud of the collaboration with the state public health department, starting a safe sharps disposal program. With career goals of becoming a clinical pharmacist, Dr. Warren successfully matched with Inova Alexandria Hospital to complete her PGY-1 residency training. Her professional areas of interests include diabetes and cardiovascular management, oncology, and transitions of care. Outside of pharmacy, she enjoys spending time with her husband, skiing and snowboarding, paddle boarding, gardening, traveling and pretty much anything outdoors.
