What to Expect
During the course of this 12-month program, the PGY2 Critical Care resident will be an integral member of the multidisciplinary team. Pharmacist preceptors will model behaviors and provide support as the resident becomes more independent in each practice area. The resident will need to employ time management skills to balance patient care responsibilities with longitudinal projects. Residents will serve as the pharmacy representative on critical care committees alongside preceptors and will work directly with attending physicians as well as residents of various services.
