They will also regularly attend ID case conference, ID journal club, Infection Control Committee meetings and other regulatory/quality committee meetings. In addition, the program offers teaching opportunities with pharmacy students from Campbell University and the University of North Carolina, infectious diseases fellows, medical/surgical residents, PGY1 pharmacy residents, nurses, and allied health professionals. Program requirements will allow the PGY2 ID resident to successfully obtain the Advanced Antimicrobial Stewardship Training Program certificate through Making a Difference in Infectious Diseases (MAD-ID).

The program follows the accreditation standards set forth by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP). It provides in-depth training on core practice concepts in ID and broad exposure to a variety of ID practice settings. The ASHP and Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists (SIDP) required competency areas, goals, and objectives document also provides a list of key disease states and topics that will be covered during this ID PGY2 residency.
