Overview

Pharmacists completing the ID pharmacy fellowship will gain experience in developing research questions, designing protocols and interventions, managing and analyzing quantitative data, and publishing research findings. Further, they will learn to develop, implement, and assess multidisciplinary antimicrobial stewardship programs on a system-wide level for inpatient and ambulatory settings. They will be skilled in educating other health care professionals, students, and patients, and will exemplify professionalism both in philosophy and by example. Upon completion of the program, fellows will be able to lead independent scientific investigation to the improvement of infectious diseases pharmacy practice. The ideal candidate will be interested in academic infectious diseases and public health faculty positions or adapting practice-based antimicrobial stewardship research into their clinical practice upon graduation.

This program is offered jointly through Henry Ford Hospital Department of Pharmacy Services and Wayne State University Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. The two-year fellowship program is expanding to two positions, where one position is offered on a yearly basis.

Additional activities
