The PGY-2 pediatric pharmacy residency program at Children's Wisconsin is a 12-month, ASHP-accredited program. Our residency provides valuable training in the various aspects of pharmacotherapy and pediatrics through a customizable program comprised of four-to-six-week rotations. The mission of the post-graduate year two residency program at Children's Wisconsin is to train competent and independent practitioners of advanced pediatric pharmacy in an academic, free-standing, pediatric health-system setting. The second-year residency program builds upon general pediatric knowledge in managing care of the medically complex pediatric patient, medication use systems specific to pediatric pharmaceutical care in critical care and acute care areas and supports optimal medication therapy outcomes for complex patients with a broad range of pediatric disease states and achieves this through research, education, multi-disciplinary teamwork, and leadership. The PGY-2 program allows the resident to subspecialize within pediatric pharmacy practice in the following areas: cardiac intensive care, medical/surgical/trauma intensive care, and neonatal intensive care.
The PGY-2 resident participates in 4 Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee Meetings and is a member of the Pharmacy Clinical Practice Council.
