PGY2 Pediatric Pharmacy Residency

The goal of the Rush University Medical Center (RUMC) pediatric pharmacy residency program is to provide the resident with a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of age-related pharmacotherapy in the pediatric population. The resident will be exposed to multiple pediatric populations within an interdisciplinary setting to allow them to become an independent clinician. The resident will be able to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills within pediatric pharmacotherapy through active participation in required and elective patient care learning experiences and a multitude of other learning opportunities. In addition, the resident will learn how to appropriately review, prepare, and dispense pediatric medications in a safe and efficient manner. Upon completion of this program, the participant will be able to independently conduct practice-based research and lead practice-based quality initiatives. The Rush University Children’s Hospital (RUCH) is comprised of 110 licensed beds with many pediatric services including an 18-bed PICU, a 60-bed Level III NICU, and a 20-bed General Pediatric unit. RUCH has a Fetal and Neonatal Medicine Center for congenital abnormalities, a state-of-the-art Pediatric Epilepsy Monitoring Unit, and is recognized as a center for excellence in pediatric ECMO and antimicrobial stewardship.
