Pharmacy residency program | veterans affairs

PROGRAM OVERVIEW We currently offer two PGY1 Pharmacy Practice residencies. One is fulltime within the ambulatory care setting, while the other is split evenly between inpatient and

ambulatory care. Both are designed to train graduates to be exceptional clinical practitioners and leaders and meet all requirements as set forth by ASHP for first year residency programs.

Additionally, we offer PGY-2 programs in Ambulatory Care, Psychiatric Pharmacy, Pain Management and Palliative Care, and Clinical Pharmacogenomics. Finally, we offer a combined PGY-1/2

Health-System Pharmacy Administration Residency. The PGY-2 Ambulatory Care Specialty Residency is designed to develop leadership skills in addition to further honing of clinical practice

skills. Our PGY-1/2 Health-System Pharmacy Administration Residency is designed to provide highly motivated and exceptionally qualified pharmacists with a myriad of experiences in clinical

practice and leadership. The PGY-2 in Psychiatric Pharmacy gives residents an opportunity to experience a variety of mental health rotations in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.

The PGY-2 Pain Management and Palliative Care Pharmacy Residency is designed to develop skills in pain management and palliative care, especially in patients with comorbid physical and

mental health diseases. The PGY2 Clinical Pharmacogenomics Residency will allow the resident to develop expertise in precision medicine, clinical pharmacology, implementation science,

informatics clinical applications, and leadership, empowering them to apply precision medicine to improve healthcare for Veterans. Residents wishing to continue with a second year at our

institution and those with PGY-1 Residency training from other sites are eligible to be considered for the PGY-2 Residency programs at our site. In addition to pharmacy practice training,

pharmacy residents at the William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital receive Clinical Instructor appointments with the University of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy and have the

opportunity to develop teaching skills by participating in the Pharmacotherapy Laboratory. They also have the option to participate in a teaching certificate program offered by the School of

Pharmacy. These experiences give residents opportunities to find careers in clinical practice, pharmacy administration, or academia. Our PGY-1 resident graduates pursue clinical practice

positions, academic positions with a practice component, or a specialty residency program. PGY-1 PHARMACY PRACTICE RESIDENCIES
