Postgraduate Year Two (PGY2) Critical Care Pharmacy Residency
Established in 1996, our post graduate year two (PGY2) critical care pharmacy residency is an ASHP-accredited program that trains residents to care for critically ill patients. We also have a strong emphasis in academic pharmacy practice, including teaching and research.
