PGY2 Emergency Medicine Pharmacy Residency Program
This program will be physically present at the ASHP Midyear Residency Showcase and PPS.
The PGY2 Emergency Medicine (EM) Pharmacy Residency (fully accredited by ASHP) is designed to build upon a resident’s past learning experiences to become a highly knowledgeable, evidence-based, and functional clinical pharmacist in the emergency department (ED). The one-year specialty residency program is designed to provide residents with advanced training in emergency medicine, with a focus on adult & pediatric critical care and urgent care, toxicology, pre-hospital care, emergency medicine practice management, research, teaching, and emergency preparedness.
The resident will be integrated as a core member of the ED pharmacy team in our Level 1 Trauma Center, serving adult, pediatric, and psychiatric patient populations. In this capacity, the resident will work closely with EM physicians, residents, mid-level practitioners, respiratory therapists, and nurses to ensure patients receive the best possible care while in the ED. Training will focus on prioritizing patient care needs and utilization of resources, understanding and applying evidence-based recommendations, becoming comfortable with urgent bedside medication therapy decisions, and monitoring a patient’s clinical course to ensure goals of therapy are met.
Upon completion of the program, residents will be well-equipped to serve as an integrated member of the interdisciplinary emergency medicine team for both adult and pediatric patients. Training will also ensure the resident will be ready for board certification, teaching, precepting, and managing an emergency department pharmacy practice and/or satellite.

Welcome!
Michigan Medicine and The University of Michigan Health (UMH) includes three hospitals, approximately 30 health centers and 120 outpatient clinics, the UM Medical School and its Faculty Group Practice, and the Michigan Health Corp. Located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the Health System maintains the first university-owned hospital in the United States and the oldest College of Pharmacy in a state-supported institution.
The Mission of Michigan Medicine is "To advance health to serve Michigan and the world", and our Vision is that "Our discoveries change care. Our care changes lives." The Department of Pharmacy Services strives to see patients and their families through a number of services and locations. We serve our patients both in the inpatient and outpatient setting. When patients are in the hospital or receiving care at a UMH facility, pharmacists are there working with physicians and nurses to ensure best care. Pharmacists serve as experts in drug therapy and dosing. Pharmacists perform functions like making sure chemotherapy orders are correct and properly dosed, helping patients and physicians with anticoagulation dosing, and dosing for drugs such as antibiotics an...d anticonvulsants. The pharmacy also provides outpatient locations for patients to fill prescriptions. Because of the specialized care that UMH provides, often other community-based pharmacies are not equipped to handle some of the complicated prescriptions that patients receive.
