Overview

  • 12-month ASHP Candidate Status PGY-2 Pharmacy Critical Care Residency
  • Start date: 7/10/2023

Purpose

PGY2 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in specialized areas of practice. PGY2 residencies provide 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 an accredited PGY2 pharmacy residency are prepared for advanced patient care, academic, or other specialized positions, along with board certification. 

Program History

The Mercy Hospital Springfield PGY-2 Critical Care Residency was established in 2022. The program is currently in candidate status and will undergo a site visit and survey for full ASHP Accreditation status in the Spring of 2023.
