The PGY2 Critical Care Pharmacy Residency Program at UTSW is a one-year post-graduate training program that builds upon Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and the PGY1 pharmacy residency program to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in critical care. The critical care residency provides the resident with opportunities to function independently as a practitioner by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge into both the provision of patient care and other advanced practice settings. The resident who successfully completes an accredited PGY2 Critical Care Pharmacy Residency Program is prepared for advanced patient care, academic, or other specialized positions, along with board certification.
Residents will gain experience and training in the following clinical service areas:
- Cardiac ICU
- Cardiovascular ICU
- Medical ICU
- Neurocritical Care
- Surgical ICU
- Infectious diseases
Elective rotations are available, and additional experiences may be developed based on resident interest and preceptor availability. Residents will also be involved in the academic, administrative, formulary management, quality improvement, and clinical research activities of the department.
Program Application Requirements: Pharm.D., be enrolled in or completed an ASHP-accredited PGY1 Pharmacy Residency program, licensed or eligible for licensure in the state of Texas, and formal interview. All application materials must be submitted via PhORCAS: Letter of intent, curriculum vitae, three letters of recommendation, and official transcripts from all pharmacy education.
