Program purpose: The critical care PGY2 pharmacy residency program builds on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm D) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in critical care medicine. The health system’s critical care PGY2 pharmacy resident program 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 critical care PGY2 pharmacy residency are prepared for advanced patient care, academic or other specialized positions, along with board certification.
The University of Kansas Health System PGY2 critical care pharmacy residency prepares its graduates to assume positions in critical care as clinical pharmacists. Graduates will be prepared to sit for the Board of Certification exam in critical care medicine. The health system is a university teaching hospital providing the unique capability to engage our residents in direct patient care activities, research, administration-leadership and project management, and teaching skills. The resident will help carry out the health system’s mission, which is to deliver world-class patient care to the people we serve and ensure the excellence of future patient care through exceptional learning, teaching and research.
