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 provides residents with the skills and knowledge to become a competent psychiatric pharmacy practitioner. This postgraduate year 2 (PGY2) residency program is designed to transition postgraduate year 1 (PGY1) residency graduates from generalist practice to specialized practice focused on the mental healthcare of patients in numerous settings. These include inpatient adult psychiatry, inpatient child and adolescent psychiatry, outpatient psychiatry, consult liaison psychiatry and neurology.
The psychiatric pharmacy residency aims to provide educational and training experiences for pharmacists in the fundamentals of exemplary contemporary psychiatric pharmacy practice in an integrated healthcare system.

Why I chose The University of Kansas Health System: I had the opportunity to spend my first year of training at the health system, which allowed me to see everything the health system offers. However, I knew after my first week with the psychiatric pharmacy team at the health system that the psychiatric residency program here was the perfect fit for my second year. The patient population is diverse and challenging, so every day I am exposed to new things and continually learning. Most importantly, the preceptors and leadership within the program and health system offer support and encouragement to us residents as we continue on our professional journey. Residents truly become a member of the pharmacy team at the health system, and I have always felt like a valued member of our team.
The PGY2 psychiatric pharmacy 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 rotational and longitudinal experiences as described below.
These may be worked into the resident's schedule based on their interests at the discretion of the residency director.
