The structure of the antimicrobial stewardship team provides for diverse experiences with local hospital, regional, and health system perspectives. Through direct patient care, education, research, and policy and protocol development, residents are responsible for improving antimicrobial use for individual patients and the population at large. As a member of the antimicrobial stewardship team, the resident works closely with ID pharmacists, ID physicians, microbiologists, and other stakeholders.
PGY2 residency programs build upon Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency training to develop pharmacist practitioners with knowledge, skills, and abilities as defined in the educational competency areas, goals, and objectives for advanced practice areas. Residents who successfully complete PGY2 residency programs are prepared for advanced patient care or other specialized positions, and board certification in the advanced practice area.
