| The post graduate year two (PGY2) residency program is designed to equip the resident with the skills necessary to function as the primary transitions of care pharmacist by managing all aspects of medication therapy in both inpatient and ambulatory care settings. The emphasis will be placed in providing excellent pharmaceutical care in conjunction with the multidisciplinary team. The resident will gain experience in transitioning the patient from the inpatient to outpatient setting for a core set of disease state including heart failure, COPD, stroke, diabetes, MI, and solid organ transplant. In addition, the resident will gain understanding of the different payer status and procedures to obtain medication access through prior authorization and patient assistance programs to provide further assistance to patient care in the clinical practice setting. Teaching activities include didactic presentations, involvement with UNTHSC School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences courses, and clerkship pharmacy students in their clinical rotation. The resident will also be involved in a major transitions of care research project. As a pharmacy resident, in addition to rotation responsibilities, you are afforded the opportunity to be a member of the hospital’s pharmacy staff and serve as a pharmacist in the department. Residents receive full MDMC employee benefits including insurance, sick time, and vacation. Travel support is provided for the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting and the regional residency conference.
