Program Purpose

PGY1 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and outcomes to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients with a wide range of conditions, eligible for board certification, and eligible for postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency training.

Overview

The CCIRH Pharmacy Residency (PGY-1) is a one-year program set in a community hospital, designed to build on Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists responsible for medication-related care of patients.

The program is designed to expose the resident to a variety of practice areas in an acute care and ambulatory environment to build and expand the knowledge and skills necessary for direct patient care. The program offers a variety of opportunities for the resident to develop critical thinking, communication, and leadership skills necessary to optimize patient care outcomes. Required rotational experiences include: orientation, internal medicine, cardiology, critical care, infectious disease, emergency medicine, ambulatory care, and advanced ambulatory care. Required longitudinal experiences include: operational pharmacy practice, advanced operational pharmacy practice, longitudinal research project, education in pharmacy, and leadership in pharmacy. Elective experiences offered include: primary care medication management, nutrition support, sterile preparations, psychiatry pharmacy, hematology/oncology, and administration.

Residents present research posters at ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting* each December and complete a final research presentation at the Florida Residency Conference* every May. Residents will also be involved in other research, such as medication use evaluations (MUEs) and drug monographs, as well as educational opportunities, including presenting journal clubs and case presentations to healthcare practitioners and student precepting throughout the year. In addition, residents will have the opportunity to gain teaching experience through optional participation in a teaching certificate program, serve as preceptors for APPE students, and provide drug information and in-services to clinical staff throughout the hospital during various experiences. Residents will have longitudinal involvement in the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, Residency Advisory Committee, department meetings, and medication safety meetings. They will also complete a variety of projects and presentations including, but not limited to, one continuing education program, one preceptor development pearl, and at least one medication use evaluation.

Program Purpose

PGY2 Program 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.

Overview

The Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital Ambulatory Care Residency (PGY-2) prepares graduates in three areas important for a clinical specialist: clinical practice, precepting, and research. Not only will residents develop the clinical skills to manage complex chronic disease states in a variety of outpatient settings, they will also develop operational skills to initiate and/or expand clinical pharmacy services. Resident graduates will be ready to precept a wide range of learners and be able to conduct research projects from conception to publication.

The PGY2 Ambulatory Care resident will practice at the Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital; including hospital based clinics on the main campus, as well as satellite clinics. The pharmacist-driven ambulatory care clinics utilize consult agreements that allow pharmacists to initiate, discontinue, and modify medications for the disease states delegated by the physician. Residents will gain experience in a variety of practice areas, including: primary care, anticoagulation, cardiology, endocrinology, pharmacy administration, leadership, hematology, pulmonology, and education. Residents will care for patients in clinics, as well as participate in patient education, serve as preceptors, and provide discharge counseling. In addition to completing a research project and drug use evaluation/quality improvement project, the resident will present at the Florida Resident Conference, monthly Lunch N Learn seminars, and leadership journal club.
