Description:  Detailed information can be found on our website: https://www.allinahealth.org/abbott-northwestern-hospital/about-us/careers/pharmacy-residency-program/pgy2-pharmacy-residency-in-infectious-diseases-ashp-accredited .  The PGY2 infectious diseases pharmacy residency is designed to transition PGY1 residency graduates from general practice to specialized practice focused on the care of patients with infectious diseases. Residency graduates are equipped to participate as integral members of interdisciplinary teams caring for patients with infectious diseases, assuming responsibility for their pharmaceutical care. They are also trained to provide this care as an independent practitioner. The wealth of residency graduates’ knowledge of infectious diseases and their treatment with antimicrobials combined with extensive care of individuals with an infectious disease produces a pharmacist who can successfully serve health care organizations as the ultimate resource for information about antimicrobials and for decision making affecting the care of these patients. This includes leadership in formulary decision making for antimicrobials.
