Duke University Hospital PGY2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency

Introduction

Duke University Hospital provides over 1 million outpatient clinic visits annually in a wide variety of primary care and specialty clinics. Primary care clinics are located around the Durham community and beyond, including the Duke Outpatient Clinic which serves a major training site for the medicine and pharmacy programs. Specialty clinics are located on the hospital campus as well as in satellite clinics around Durham. Specialty services include comprehensive outpatient oncology services in the Morris Clinic and clinics in cardiology, endocrinology, pulmonology, transplant, and many other specialties. 

Purpose

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.

The purpose of the PGY2 Ambulatory Care Residency Program is to help the resident develop an expert-level evidence-based knowledge base in the area of chronic disease management, implement and manage new areas of pharmacy practice in the outpatient environment, conduct research in practical areas of ambulatory care pharmacy practice, become an expert in the education of learners of pharmacy and other professions, and to become a consummate professional leader in the field of ambulatory care pharmacy.

Outcomes

A resident specific customized plan will be created with aid from the residency program director based on the resident’s prior experience and interests. This will guide the development and achievement of an individualized set goals and educational outcomes.
