The University of Kansas Health System provides residents with the skills and knowledge to practice in antimicrobial stewardship and as an infectious diseases clinical specialist. This residency program is designed to transition postgraduate year 1 (PGY1) residency graduates from generalist practice to specialized practice focused on the care of patients with complex infectious diseases in numerous settings. Antimicrobial stewardship is a secondary focus of the residency, with an emphasis on population management strategies throughout a large health system.
The postgraduate year 2 (PGY2) infectious diseases residency program is designed to provide residents with robust experience in the clinical management of patients with infectious diseases as well as population level management through antimicrobial stewardship. We work closely with the infectious disease physicians and fellows covering 8 consult services that manage a diverse patient population, including patients with cystic fibrosis, hematologic and oncologic malignancies, solid organ and bone marrow transplants.
For more information on the infectious diseases division, faculty and fellowship program please visit the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The PGY2 resident will have the opportunity to experience dedicated time in the clinical microbiology laboratory and actively participate in educational opportunities offered through the infectious diseases fellowship program and the University of Kansas College of Pharmacy. Longitudinal responsibilities include participation in the antimicrobial stewardship program, inpatient pharmacy department staffing, research and education. Completion of this program will prepare the resident for a career in clinical practice and antimicrobial stewardship.

Why I chose The University of Kansas Health System: I chose The University of Kansas Health System because of how ingrained pharmacy and pharmacist are in patient care. The ID team is highly valued not only within the ID division and its fellows and attendings, but throughout. I could tell that by coming here I would be able to see a wide variety of infections and help with antimicrobial stewardship not only at the main hospital but system-wide.
The PGY2 infectious diseases residency at The University of Kansas Health System is tailored to the interests and the career goals of each resident. The residency year is organized into both rotational and longitudinal experiences as further described below.
