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, if available.In addition to the ASHP PGY2 Program Purpose, this program provides the resident with advanced clinical training in critical care pharmacotherapy, as well as opportunities for research, teaching, and scholarship. Upon completion of this residency, the pharmacist will be a competent clinical pharmacy practitioner in critical care that engages in multidisciplinary collaboration, demonstrates advanced critical thinking skills, and is able to design and implement complex medication recommendations in a variety of critical care environments. Number of Residency Positions Available: 2Duration of Appointment: 54-week appointmentSalary: Approximately $55,500 for a 54-week appointmentStaffing RequirementsCode Blue coverage throughout the residency year.Resident(s) are required to work one major and one minor holiday. Those holidays will be determined during orientation and after assessment of the department needs. PGY-2(s) will have monthly staffing daysPGY-2(s) will have 4 staffing days per month Program StructureNote: All learning experience durations may be modified at the discretion of the Residency Program Director to best meet the needs of the individual resident. Any changes from the typical duration will be documented in the quarterly Resident Development Plan.Teaching Certificate ProgramA teaching certificate program through the University of Missouri-Kansas City encouraged for all residents who did not receive one during their PGY1 but is not a requirement of the residency. Cost will be covered by the residency program should a resident choose to enroll.Required Learning ExperiencesPGY2 residents will gain the skills to function as the primary ICU pharmacist during their required learning experiences with the expectation that the resident will handle all aspects of the medication process from ordering to administration and follow up. Because required ICU experiences will focus on developing the skills necessary to effectively be the lead ICU pharmacist, they will primarily be assigned in the first half of the residency year. Rather than focusing on a specific team, the PGY2 resident will be expected to identify medication-related issues and manage the therapeutic plan of every patient in the unit, regardless of the primary service. The resident will be expected to build relationships with each medical team in the ICU and work proactively with other disciplines (i.e., physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, dietitians, social workers, and case managers) to achieve efficient workflow and medication delivery. Daily activities will include participation in rounds, carrying the Code Blue emergency pager as assigned, reviewing each patient’s profile for appropriateness of drug therapy, performing pharmacokinetic monitoring on all therapeutically monitored drugs (TDM), validating pharmacy orders on all ICU patients, and overseeing and directing PGY1 resident and pharmacy student activities. This integration of staffing and clinical services prepares residents for any type of practice environment they may encounter in their future jobs by emphasizing the development of essential skills required for an advanced pharmacy practitioner: independent practice skills, multi-tasking and prioritization.

This will allow the resident the flexibility to tailor their PGY2 experience to an area of interest. Elective learning experiences will generally be scheduled in the second half of the residency year (after the required ICU learning experiences are completed).
