Job Summary
The year 2 (PGY2) Pharmacy Practice Residency program is a 12-month post-graduate training program which builds on the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and post-graduate year 1 (PGY1) training. The PGY2 residency will contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions making them eligible for board certification.
Under the general supervision of the PGY2 Residency Program Director or his/her designee, PGY2 residents will have the opportunity to function independently as practitioners by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge and incorporating both into the provision of patient care that improves medication therapy. PGY2 residents must be pharmacists having sufficiently broad knowledge, skills, attitudes, and abilities in pharmacy practice necessary for further professional development at an advanced level of pharmacy practice.
PGY2 residents will complete learning experiences in 4-to-8-week rotations in differing clinical specialty areas as well as longitudinal learning opportunities. The resident will learn from his/her preceptor and assume responsibility and accountability in providing day-to-day patient care and pharmacy medication management in a focused area of practice. Clinical activities include the development and implementation of a therapeutic care plan, follow-up evaluation and medication monitoring and proper documentation of medication related interventions.
A major and minor project will be expected to be completed over the year which will improve the overall status of pharmaceutical care of our patients at Denver Health. The resident will assume an integral role in supporting the educational and academic vision of the pharmacy department as a preceptor for students, interns and PGY1 residents. The resident will provide educational programs to pharmacy, nursing, medical and allied health care professionals regarding appropriate medication use, medication management standards, and safety in a focused area of practice.
Residents are taught and evaluated by the educational goals and objectives set forth by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacist's Accreditation Board.
