The University of Kentucky is a Level 1 trauma center and designated as a comprehensive stroke center. The Emergency Department has an annual census of approximately 100,000 visits per year. This program is uniquely designed to develop skilled clinicians that practice independently and excel in clinical service, teaching, and research. The program structure includes seven core ED learning experiences, a research month, two required experiences in an intensive care unit setting, and two elective rotations built around the resident’s prior experiences.

Additionally, residents will participate in multiple longitudinal experiences, which creates a well-rounded learning experience. Residents also participate in providing 24-hour clinical pharmacy services through the in-house on-call program, staff in the Emergency Department as part of their required pharmacy practice experience, and are provided dedicated research time.

Precepting and teaching students in advance pharmacy practice experiences and didactic settings are offered, as is a longitudinal teaching certificate program. Other teaching opportunities exist within the Emergency Medicine physician residency and the Advanced Practice Provider Residency programs. Scholarly activities may focus on clinical, practice-based, or outcomes research.

As a pharmacy resident at the University of Kentucky, you will receive excellent benefits including 15 vacation days (not including sick leave), 10 holidays, 4 bonus holidays, and professional development travel funds.
