The Department of Pharmacy Services at the Michigan Medicine is recruiting applicants for a one-year PGY2 Residency in Critical Care. 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 and 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).
Recruitment Plan 2023-2024
We will be represented at ASHP Midyear Showcase in Las Vegas Nevada on Monday, December 5th from 1-4 PM at booth 4528. Please stop by to connect with the residents & RPD.
We will also be hosting PPS interviews at ASHP Midyear from Sunday, December 4th through Wednesday, December 7th. Please check the PPS website for details.
