PGY2 Emergency Medicine Pharmacy Residency Curriculum

The PGY2 Emergency Medicine Pharmacy Residency Program will adapt to the needs of the individual resident and will customize the training program for the resident based upon assessment of the resident’s knowledge, skills, attitudes, abilities, and interests at program orientation and at each of the first three quarterly evaluations.

Nevertheless, the program will provide a structured experience to create the foundation for quality emergency medicine practice.
