Solid Organ Transplant

The Solid Organ Transplant Pharmacy Residency Program at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania has been in existence since 2007 and received ASHP accreditation in 2019. This residency is a full time practice commitment and is 52 weeks in duration. The program offers comprehensive learning experiences in all major solid organs, including kidney/pancreas, liver, heart, and lung transplantation, as well as transplant infectious disease. Residents will serve as an integral part of the multidisciplinary team, ensuring the safe and effective use of all medications, educating patients and caregivers pre- and post-transplant, participating in multi-disciplinary selection meetings and facilitating smooth transitions between patient care settings. Longitudinal experiences are designed to focus on pharmacy operations, medication adherence assessments, clinical research and professional development which includes opportunities to deliver formal and informal presentations, teach and mentor residents and students, and develop professional writing skills. The program will be tailored specifically for each resident based upon the resident’s goals, interests and previous experience. 

Residents will complete one-month long required rotations, as well as enroll in their choice of elective rotations that vary in length from two to four weeks. Electives include pediatric transplantation, bone marrow transplant, and mechanical circulatory support, among others. Additionally, residents will also attend an immunology and HLA didactic and interactive lecture series that is 1-week in duration to provide a baseline foundational knowledge prior to starting rotations. Longitudinal experiences are designed to focus on pharmacy operations, clinical research and professional development which includes opportunities to deliver formal and informal presentations, teach and mentor residents and students, and develop professional writing skills. The transplant pharmacy group is very active in clinical research and collaborate on multiple research projects including PGY1 and PGY2 residents every year. Additionally, transplant pharmacists and residents will participate in ongoing prospective trials through enrollment and screening. The program will be tailored specifically for each resident based upon the resident’s goals, interests and previous experience.

Within Penn Medicine, The Penn Transplant Institute (PTI) has been a pioneer in organ transplantation, providing exceptional global care for the transplant recipient, and leading in cutting edge research in transplant science. Penn's multidisciplinary team leads the region in the total number of transplants performed and is ranked among the top 10 multi-organ transplant centers in the country.
