Emergency Medicine Pharmacy

The PGY2 Emergency Medicine (EM) Pharmacy Residency (fully accredited by ASHP) is designed to build upon a resident’s past learning experiences to become a highly knowledgeable, evidence based, and functional clinical pharmacist in the emergency department (ED).

General Description & Program Purpose

The one-year specialty residency program is designed to provide residents with advanced training in emergency medicine, with a focus on adult & pediatric critical care and urgent care, toxicology, pre-hospital care, emergency medicine practice management, research, teaching, and emergency preparedness. 

The resident will be integrated as a core member of the ED pharmacy team in our Level 1 Trauma Center, serving adult, pediatric, and psychiatric patient populations. In this capacity, the resident will work closely with EM physicians, residents, mid-level practitioners, respiratory therapists, and nurses to ensure patients receive the best possible care while in the ED. Training will focus on prioritizing patient care needs and utilization of resources, understanding and applying evidence based recommendations, becoming comfortable with stat bedside medication therapy decisions, and monitoring a patient’s clinical course to ensure goals of therapy are met. 

Upon completion of the program, residents will be well-equipped to serve as an integrated member of the interdisciplinary emergency medicine team for both adult and pediatric patients. Training will also ensure the resident will be ready for board certification, teaching, precepting, and managing an emergency department pharmacy practice and/or satellite.
