The PGY-2 Medication Use Safety and Policy (MUSP) residency is a dynamic program designed to elevate pharmacist practitioners to the pinnacle of expertise in medication safety. Building upon PGY-1 experiences, this residency cultivates leaders capable of spearheading medication safety initiatives within both inpatient and ambulatory practice settings.
Throughout the program, residents will gain advanced proficiency in regulatory and accreditation requirements, clinical informatics, optimization of automation and technology, and effective formulary management. The curriculum includes an in-depth exploration of the medication-use process, empowering residents to discern system vulnerabilities, adeptly apply continuous improvement principles, and systematically measure outcomes. This comprehensive approach ensures the development of skills essential for maintaining safe and efficient clinical and operational workflows.
Graduates of the PGY2 MUSP residency program emerge as visionary leaders with the expertise to construct innovative medication safety system solutions and drive positive change within organizations.
The residency program starts on June 30 of each year.
