PGY-2 Pediatric Pharmacy Residency - Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital/Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital
The PGY-2 Pediatric Pharmacy Residency at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children (OHAPH) is a one-year, post-graduate training program designed to develop essential knowledge and skills for contemporary health-system pharmacy practice. The residency program provides flexibility to adapt to the resident’s specific learning needs and goals. Training is provided through rotational experience and longitudinal activities.
Graduates of the OHAPH PGY-2 Pediatric Pharmacy Residency will be competent and confident practitioners of pharmaceutical care in multiple pediatric patient care environments, assuring safe, effective, and appropriate drug therapy.
All clinical rotations will be conducted at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children (OHAPH) and Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies (OHWPH).
PGY-2 Program Purpose
PGY-2 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) 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.
Goals of the Residency
Graduating PGY-2 Pediatric Pharmacy Residents will:
- Assure safe, effective, appropriate drug therapy and prevent, identify, and resolve drug related problems
- Present as a competent, confident, and compassionate practitioner and set and reassess goals
- Demonstrate a commitment to the advancement of the profession and continued personal growth
- Possess comprehensive health-system pharmacy skills that promote future professional growth
- Create, promote, and participate as a part of a multidisciplinary healthcare team
- Demonstrate the ability to identify opportunities for improvement within a practice and practice site
- Provide education to professional and non-professional audiences, utilizing effective communication skills
- Demonstrate a foundation of leadership skills in pharmacy practice
