The PGY-2 Pediatric Pharmacy Residents at AdventHealth for Children are provided with opportunities to function independently as practitioners in a variety of pediatric patient care settings. Through integration of accumulated experiences and knowledge, residents will focus on the provision of patient care that improves medication therapy. Residents who successfully complete our residency program will attain the skills and competencies that qualify them for a clinical pharmacist position and will be eligible to sit for pediatric board certification.
PGY-2 Program Purpose
PGY-2 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and PGY-1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in specialized areas of practice. PGY-2 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 PGY-2 pharmacy residency are prepared for advanced patient care, academic, or other specialized positions, along with board certification, if available.
