In recognition of the upcoming Independence Day holiday, some of The University of Kansas Health System’s offices will have modified hours on Thursday, July 4.
The University of Kansas Health System medication-use safety and policy residency program, formerly the drug information residency program, was established in 1994 and allows the resident to play an integral role in ensuring the appropriate, safe and cost-effective use of medications for health system patients. The health system is part of the region's premier academic medical center, including a 1,000-bed teaching hospital that has been ranked every year since 2007 among U.S. News & World Report's 50 best hospitals.
The resident will receive advanced training in safe medication-use practices and process improvement as a member of an interdisciplinary team focusing on patient safety within the health system.

The PGY2 medication-use safety and policy residency program is tailored to the interests and career goals of each resident.
PGY2 residency programs build upon a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency training to develop pharmacist practitioners with knowledge, skills and abilities as defined in the educational competency areas, goals and objectives for advanced practice areas. Residents who successfully complete PGY2 residency programs are prepared for advanced patient care or other specialized positions and board certification in the advanced practice area, if available.
