St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (St. Jude) in collaboration with Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital (LBCH) offers a 12-month PGY2 Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Residency with a focus on pediatrics. The St. Jude / LBCH partnership provides the resident advanced training with experienced preceptors in ID pharmacotherapy for a diverse range of pediatric patient populations including those with immunocompromise. St. Jude and LBCH pharmacists practice at the top of their licenses and offer comprehensive pharmacy services. St. Jude is an Infectious Disease Society of America Center of Excellence for Antimicrobial Stewardship. LBCH is the major pediatric clinical training site for the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) at Memphis and pharmacists have collaboratively provided antimicrobial stewardship services at the institution since 2011. 

The resident will gain clinical experience at both sites with general ID consult services and transplant ID consult services for bone marrow and solid organ transplant. St. Jude offers special ID experiences in oncology and non-malignant hematology (primarily sickle cell disease). LBCH offers ID experiences in general pediatrics and critical care. LBCH (with UTHSC) offers extensive academic opportunities including didactic lectures and precepting students on clinical rotation. 

The resident will be expected to complete a major project relevant to infectious diseases. Experiences during the residency will enable the resident to pursue a clinical, research, or academic career focused on infectious diseases in a wide range of pediatric populations.

About St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

The Department of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is committed to providing advanced practice pharmacy services that individualize care for each child at St. Jude while supporting a collective research endeavor. PGY2 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in specialized areas of practice. PGY2 residencies provide residents with opportunities to function independently as practitioners by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge and incorporating both into the provision of patient care or other advanced practice settings. Residents who successfully complete an accredited PGY2 pharmacy residency are prepared for advanced patient care, academic, or other specialized positions, along with board certification, if available. PGY2 residents in the individual programs learn, contribute, and participate in dynamic environments that include professional and technical personnel in patient care and pharmaceutical research. St. Jude offers five distinct ASHP-accredited 12-month specialized pharmacy residency PGY2 opportunities.
