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 is a teaching hospital providing the unique capability to engage pharmacy residents in direct patient care activities, research, administration leadership, project management and teaching skills. Residents carry out the health system’s mission, which is to deliver world-class patient care to the people we serve and ensure the excellence of future patient care through exceptional learning, teaching and research.
Specifically, the postgraduate year 2 (PGY2) infectious diseases pharmacy residency program at the health system provides residents with the skills and knowledge to practice as an infectious diseases clinical pharmacist with formalized training in antimicrobial stewardship. The residency program is designed to transition postgraduate year 1 (PGY1) residency graduates from generalist practice to specialized practice, focused on the care of patients with complex infectious diseases in numerous settings. Antimicrobial stewardship is a secondary focus of the residency, with an emphasis on population management strategies throughout a large health system. After successfully completing the program, graduates will be prepared to sit for the board of certification exam in infectious diseases.
The PGY2 infectious diseases residency program is designed to provide residents with robust experience in the clinical management of patients with infectious diseases as well as population level management through antimicrobial stewardship. We work closely with the infectious diseases physicians and fellows covering 10 consult services that manage a diverse patient population, including patients with cystic fibrosis, human immunodeficiency virus, hematologic and oncologic malignancies, and solid organ and blood and marrow transplants.
For more information on the infectious diseases division within the School of Medicine, faculty, research, and fellowship program, please visit the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The PGY2 pharmacy resident will have the opportunity to actively participate in educational opportunities offered through the infectious diseases fellowship program and the University of Kansas School of Pharmacy. Formal longitudinal responsibilities include participation in the antimicrobial stewardship program, inpatient pharmacy staffing and research. Completion of this program will prepare the resident for a career in clinical infectious diseases practice and antimicrobial stewardship.

Why I chose The University of Kansas Health System: I chose The University of Kansas Health System because of the camaraderie our ID pharmacists have with not only the medical fellowship program but also with the pharmacy department as a whole. They are widely respected by all team members, and I felt that it would be an incredibly rewarding experience to be able to be a part of a team so integral to patient care at this health system. Also, with The University of Kansas Health System being both a transplant center and huge cancer center, I knew that I would have an abundance of learning opportunities with infections that I could not see anywhere else.
The PGY2 infectious diseases residency at The University of Kansas Health System is tailored to the interests and the career goals of each resident. The residency year is organized into both rotational and longitudinal experiences as further described below.
There are many opportunities to customize the program to fit the resident’s individual interests through elective learning experiences. Additional rotations may be developed in addition to those listed here. Please contact the RPD for additional information.
