Pharmacy Residency Program

To our pharmacy residency applicants

The pharmacy strives to provide quality and innovative care to each and every patient that walks through the doors at The University of Kansas Health System, and the pharmacy residency training programs are no different. The University of Kansas Health System in Kansas City has a long tradition of training exceptional pharmacists; since 1970, we have graduated over 350 pharmacy residents across 9 programs.

As The University of Kansas Health System in Kansas City continues to grow, so do the residency programs. Our residencies are hosted at The University of Kansas Hospital campuses at 39th and Rainbow, which has over 800 beds, on Marillac Campus and Strawberry Hill Campus, which are behavioral health campuses with nearly 100 beds, and on Indian Creek Campus.

We not only offer our legacy PGY1/2/MS health system pharmacy administration and leadership residency, we have grown to offer a strong clinical PGY1 residency and specialty residencies in ambulatory care, critical care, infectious diseases, medication-use safety and policy, oncology, pharmacy informatics and psychiatry.

Joining the #KUPhamily is a lifelong commitment. Residents commit to carrying the pharmacy leadership legacy principles of commitment, vision and excellence throughout their career. Preceptors commit to developing our residents to be successful in this endeavor. Our goal is to recruit individuals with hunger for clinical growth and professional potential to develop and mentor into the most sought-after pharmacy residents in the country. Graduates of our residency program will go on to define the future of the profession of pharmacy.

We look forward to meeting you during the ASHP pharmacy residency match process!

Warmly,

Katherine (Kat) A. Miller, PharmD, MHA, DPLA, FASHP, FKCHP
