Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Residency
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, if available.
Pharmacists completing the Infectious Diseases PGY2 Pharmacy Residency at Henry Ford Hospital are qualified for positions in antimicrobial stewardship and infectious disease pharmacy practice. They will be proficient in the education of students, patients, and health care professionals. Graduates will also be competent in practice-based research.
The PGY2 Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Residency program is an ASHP accredited 12-month learning experience with two positions available per year.
