Cook Children's Pharmacy Residency Information 

Purpose

PGY2 residency programs build upon Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency training to develop pharmacist practitioners with knowledge, skills, and abilities as defined in the educational competency areas, goals, and objectives for advanced practice areas. Residents who successfully complete PGY2 residency programs are prepared for advanced patient care or other specialized positions, and board certification in the advanced practice area, if available.

Mission

The ASHP-accredited, post-graduate year 2 (PGY2) residency program at Cook Children's is a rigorous program focused on expanding each resident's clinical pediatric expertise, adaptability, independence, and clinical leadership skills. The PGY2 program at Cook Children's is especially unique in that our program offers the ASHP Recognized Specialty Pathway in Oncology. Residents may also tailor the PGY2 Pediatrics elective experiences to focus in areas such as General Pediatrics and Critical Care. Each program option is designed to transition residents from generalist to specialist practitioners within these disciplines and provides mentorship from experts in these areas. At the completion of the PGY2 year, residents will have advanced pediatric clinical knowledge, skills to establish and expand pediatric clinical pharmacy services, and the ability to provide clinical leadership to a multidisciplinary specialty team.
