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.
The University of Oklahoma Health Campus (OUHC) PGY2 Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Residency Training Program is sponsored by the College of Pharmacy in affiliation with OU Health. Key components of this 12-month residency program include:
- Appointment to the academic rank of Clinical Instructor with the University of Oklahoma College of Pharmacy
- Learning experiences are planned to meet the individual developmental needs of the resident
- Residents design an original research project and/or participate in ongoing research projects as well as present and publish their work
- PGY2 residents will participate in teaching sessions, deliver at least 2 formal presentations, and serve as preceptor of record for APPE students during one learning experience
- PGY2 residents have the option to receive an advanced teaching and precepting skills certificate through completion of additional requirements
