St. Joseph’s/Candler offers a Postgraduate Year One (PGY1) residency program and Postgraduate Year Two (PGY2) clinical pharmacy residency programs in Critical Care, Emergency Medicine and Ambulatory Care. St. Joseph's/Candler established the PGY2 program in Critical Care in 2011, Emergency Medicine in 2015 and Ambulatory Care in 2018. Critical Care and Emergency Medicine both offer one position. The Ambulatory Care program offers two positions. All programs are ASHP-accredited. The residency program mission at St. Joseph's/Candler is to provide quality, compassionate, cost-effective pharmaceutical care to patients and to provide leadership on medication use and drug policy for patients and members of all health professions. The vision of our residency programs is to develop competent and confident clinical pharmacy practitioners and to instill in them a philosophy of excellence in practice leadership and management. The PGY2 program in Critical Care Medicine builds 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. This program is designed to develop an advanced practitioner able to provide quality, compassionate, and cost-effective care to the critically ill patient through mutual cooperation with all members of the healthcare team. It is expected that residents will develop skills in advanced clinical pharmacy practice, adaptability, communication, assertiveness, professionalism, ethics, leadership, independence, and self-assessment which are suitable to the environment of critical care medicine. The goal of the PGY2 Emergency Medicine residency is to train pharmacy practitioners who will be qualified to work in a variety of emergency medicine or critical care environments. Practice settings include the emergency departments at both hospitals, medical/surgical, neuro, and cardiac critical care units, trauma and the Poison Control Center at Grady Hospital in Atlanta, and pre-hospital care with Chatham EMS. The resident will participate in a Graduate Certificate program through The University of Georgia receiving a Graduate Certificate upon completion. Teaching opportunities will include precepting PGY1 residents and PharmD students and didactic teaching via either distance learning or on-campus instruction.
