PGY2 Pain Management and Palliative Care Pharmacy Residency Program at OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital.
The PGY2 Pain and Palliative Care Pharmacy Residency at Riverside Methodist Hospital is part of a residency program that has trained pharmacists and pharmacy leaders for more than 40 years. Located in central Ohio, Riverside is a 1,059 bed non-profit, tertiary care, teaching hospital and is one of five teaching hospitals in the OhioHealth system. Riverside is the largest acute care hospital in Ohio and is consistently ranked as a leader in the areas of Neuroscience, Heart and Vascular care, Cancer care, Maternity and Women’s Health, Trauma, and Orthopedics.
Graduates of the OhioHealth Pain Management and Palliative Care PGY2 Pharmacy Residency program are equipped to practice independently as a specialist in hospice, pain, and/or palliative care. In addition to clinical development, the pharmacist will be prepared to participate in research and education specific to pain management and palliative care.
The pharmacy resident will train alongside the hospice and palliative medical fellows allowing the resident to participate in interdisciplinary collaboration. Core rotations focus on acute and chronic pain management, palliative care, hospice, substance use disorders, and medication safety/opioid stewardship. Leadership, teaching, and research are required longitudinal rotations that engage and develop the resident throughout the year. Additional electives are available to customize the residency to fulfill the resident’s goals and career aspirations. Rotations occur primarily at Riverside and also include experiences at the inpatient hospice house, a sister-hospital and the health-system level. This structure offers a unique learning environment for the resident interested in pain management and palliative care. An optional teaching certificate may be pursued through a partnership with The Ohio State University.
