The University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy in conjunction with affiliated institutions in Temple (Central Texas Veterans Health Care System) and San Antonio (South Texas Veterans Health Care System and San Antonio State Hospital) offer psychiatric pharmacy practice residencies with experienced clinical faculty. These residencies include rotations in outpatient and inpatient settings with adult, child/adolescent, and geriatric populations. The PGY2 program at San Antonio State Hospital will be participating in PPS. 

San Antonio State Hospital (SASH) is a 13-unit, in-patient psychiatric hospital that offers services to adults with severe and persistent mental illness, primarily schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression.  These individuals are admitted on forensic, civil or voluntary commitments and come from a catchment area that extends over roughly 50 South Texas counties, most of which are medically underserved and struggle with high levels of poverty and substance use.  SASH has partnerships with the University of Texas College of Pharmacy and the South Texas Veterans Health Care System (STVHCS) and will be the Center for Excellence in Geriatrics for the Texas Health and Human Services system.  The pharmacy team at SASH is starting a PGY2 Residency program to expand pharmacy’s involvement with the various multidisciplinary treatment teams, thereby improving inpatient medication management and easing transitions of care.  Our current accreditation status is pre-candidate; we will apply for candidate status once the residency year commences.  Required learning experiences will include adult inpatient psychiatry, outpatient clinic (STVHCS), extended inpatient psychiatric care, geriatrics and substance use (STVHCS).     

Residents in The University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy Affiliated Programs are eligible for appointment as an Instructor in Clinical Pharmacy with the College of Pharmacy.  There are also opportunities for participation in Resident Rounds, the Teaching and Leadership Fellows Program, teaching in labs and precepting clerkship students.
