PGY2 Internal Medicine 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 Structure
The Postgraduate Year Two (PGY-2) Internal Medicine Residency Program is a one-year post-graduate training program designed to build upon competencies achieved in a PGY-1 Pharmacy Practice Residency developing specialized areas of practice and providing care for a variety of complex acutely ill patients. PGY-2 Internal Medicine residency provides 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 the program are prepared to successfully practice as an internal medicine pharmacy specialist or subspecialist in an area of interest as an integral member of an interprofessional health care team. Residents will also be prepared to pursue a career in a health system or academia and engage in educational or scholarly pursuits.

Why MUSC?: “As a large academic medical center, MUSC offers robust rotation experiences, opportunities for interprofessional development, and exposure to complex patients and disease states. Because of these components of the institution, I knew completing a residency at MUSC would challenge me to think critically, practice evidence-based medicine, and train at the top of my license, all of which were top priorities of mine when applying to residency programs.”
