PGY2 Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Residency

This PGY2 residency at the University of Colorado Skaggs School of Pharmacy/UCHealth - University of Colorado Hospital is designed to develop competencies necessary for specialized practice in infectious diseases pharmacotherapy. The program is individualized to meet needs and interests of the resident. The University of Colorado Hospital (UCH), the flagship facility of UCHealth, and the CU School of Pharmacy are part of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The inpatient and outpatient services of UCH provide the primary teaching sites for this program. Other rotation sites may include other hospitals in the Denver area offering unique learning experiences not available at UCH.

Rotations are usually scheduled in 4-week increments. Required clinical learning experiences include: antimicrobial stewardship (1 month); general ID inpatient consult service (2 months); immunocompromised host ID consult service (2 months); Infectious Diseases Clinic (1 month); BMT/hematology (1 month), orthopedic surgical ID service (1 month), and longitudinal experiences in AMS, research, and teaching/academia. Residents will also have opportunities to receive training in basic microbiological techniques and laboratory processes. Possible elective rotations include: ID/AMS at other affiliated hospitals; pediatric ID; solid organ transplantation; research; and others.

While the program focuses on enhancing clinical skills, a research project is required for successful completion of the residency. Additional opportunities for participation in clinical research are available. An administrative project will also be required as part of the antimicrobial stewardship activities. PGY2 residents will be involved in teaching programs of the school, including didactic and clerkship teaching of Pharm.D. students and PGY1 residents, as well as medical residents and fellows. Completion of the Colorado Pharmacy Residency Teaching Certificate program is required if completion of a similar program has not already been accomplished during a PGY1 program. Upon completion of this residency, graduates will be prepared to practice as an infectious diseases pharmacotherapy and antimicrobial stewardship specialist in either a community or academic environment.
