About the PGY2 Emergency Medicine Residency Program

Purpose

PGY2 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in advanced or specialized practice. PGY2 residencies provide residents with opportunities to function independently as practitioners by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge incorporating both into the provision of patient care that improves medication therapy. Residents who successfully complete an accredited PGY2 pharmacy residency should possess competencies that qualify them for clinical pharmacist and/or faculty positions and position them to be eligible for attainment of board certification in that practice area (when board certification for the practice area exists).

At least seven months are spent in the OSUWMC Main Emergency Department and one month at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Elective opportunities exist  in surgical ICU, medical ICU, general cardiology, OSU East ED (community hospital), Central Ohio Poison Control, neuro ICU, and nocturnal EM. Longitudinal experiences include Quality and Medication Safety, Journal Club, Research, and Teaching. Opportunities for teaching exist through didactic lectures and experiential rotations.
