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 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, if available.

Elise Lawrence was raised in the small West Texas town of Sweetwater. She completed her undergraduate work at The University of Texas at Austin (Hook ‘em), where she received her B.S.A. in biology with a minor in business. She moved back to West Texas to pursue her dual PharmD/MBA degree at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. Elise completed her PGY-1 residency training at the University of Colorado Hospital and is thrilled to be staying on for PGY-2. Outside of work, you can either find her at the Cherry Creek dog park with her pup, Addie, watching Longhorn sports, exploring on her new mountain bike (baby steps), playing a round of golf, or catching first chair to snowboard (gotta love the 300 days of sunshine in CO!).
