PGY2 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in specialized areas of practice. PGY2 residencies provide residents with opportunities to function independently as practitioners by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge and incorporating both into the provision of patient care or other advanced practice settings. Residents who successfully complete an accredited PGY2 pharmacy residency are prepared for advanced patient care, academic, or other specialized positions, along with board certification, if available.
Specifically, the PGY2 critical care residency program at HCMC provides the resident opportunities to accelerate their growth beyond entry-level professional competence in patient-centered care and in pharmacy operational services focusing on clinical and professional skills necessary to be a successful critical care pharmacist; and to further the development of leadership, research and teaching skills that can be applied in any position or practice setting related to critical care often including clinical practice in the intensive care unit and emergency medicine setting, fellowship or academia within this realm.
Residency Rotation Requirements
PGY-2 goals and objectives are achieved over a 12 month period.
