About Our Program
Welcome to the 12-month PGY-2 Medication-Use Safety and Policy Residency Program at AdventHealth Orlando. Come train at one of the largest hospitals in the nation! We provide patient care for many disease states utilizing pharmacists in a variety of specialties. Our PGY-2 preceptors have extensive training and experience and are leading the charge for the health system in formulary, policy, medication safety, and informatics.
PGY-2 pharmacy residency programs in Medication Use Safety and Policy 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 certifications, if applicable.
Please see additional information about our PGY-2 Medication-Use Safety and Policy Residency Program here and in the additional menus.
Thank you for your interest in our program! Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Stacy L. Carson, PharmD, BCPS, FISMP
