PGY2 Critical Care Pharmacy Residency
Purpose
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.
Program Design
The PGY2 Critical Care Pharmacy Residency at MUSC is a one-year post-graduate training program designed to prepare critical care specialists qualified to accept a position and practice in a variety of critical care environments including, but not limited to: medical, surgical, trauma, burn, neurosurgical, neurological, cardiothoracic, cardiology, medical-surgical, emergency medicine, and transplant. They will be able to identify, prevent, and resolve medication-related problems, participate as active members of a multidisciplinary healthcare team, provide education to various healthcare providers and patients, conduct effective research and medication-use-evaluations, and demonstrate leadership skills. The residency program provides the flexibility to adapt to the resident’s specific learning needs and goals. The training is provided through month-long clinical rotations and longitudinal experiences that extend throughout the year.
