Postgraduate Year Two (PGY2) Solid Organ Transplant Pharmacy Residency
The University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) is a 678-bed tertiary academic medical center on the Anschutz Medical Campus. The Transplant Center at UCHealth has been a leader in solid organ transplant since performing the first liver transplant in 1963. The care team provides multi-disciplinary care for kidney, pancreas, liver, lung, and heart transplant recipients. Additionally, a pediatric abdominal transplant elective rotation is offered in coordination with Children’s Hospital Colorado.
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.

Tamanna Talwar, PharmD
I am a PGY2 Solid Organ Transplant Resident at the University of Colorado/UCHealth Hospital System. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Colorado Boulder (SKO BUFFS!) before continuing my training at the CU Skaggs School of Pharmacy. I completed my PGY1 residency at the University of North Carolina Medical Center in Chapel Hill within the Ambulatory Care track, and I am excited to now be back at CU to pursue my PGY2 in Solid Organ Transplantation.I was born and raised in Southern California and spent some time in Northern California before moving to Colorado. After living here for the past 10 years, I have finally learned to appreciate and prepare for all four seasons, especially the colder months! Outside of pharmacy, I love Pilates, reading, dancing, and skiing, which I started during pharmacy school and quickly grew to love.
I am especially excited for this full-circle opportunity to give back to the CU community that has been such an important part of my journey. I look forward to continuing to grow both didactically and clinically throughout my PGY2 year while learning from and contributing to the incredible transplant community at CU.
Lindsey Fold, PharmD
Lindsey is a North Carolina native who grew up in Charlotte and earned both her B.S. in Biology and PharmD degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During pharmacy school, she served as the inaugural Solid Organ Transplant intern at UNC Health, which ignited her passion for transplant medicine and solidified her desire to pursue a PGY2 in this specialty following her first year of residency. Outside of pharmacy, Lindsey thrives on adventure – whether she’s training for a triathlon, going to concerts, traveling, or spending time with friends outdoors, she embraces every opportunity to stay active and explore. She is thrilled at the opportunity to continue her post-grad training at UCHealth and refine her interests within the realm of transplant.
