The Vidant Medical Center (VMC) PGY2 Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Residency is a new program that offers rotations in a variety of settings including antimicrobial stewardship, infectious diseases consults, HIV clinic, microbiology, outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT), and culture call-back from the Emergency Department. Vidant Health has a formal antimicrobial stewardship program that has been in place for over 20 years. The program serves a large academic medical center as well as community hospitals affiliated with Vidant and located across eastern North Carolina. The PGY2 resident will gain experience taking care of patients in both settings. Through the antimicrobial stewardship program the resident will work collaboratively with infectious disease trained pharmacists and providers. Routine patient care consists of prospective audit with feedback, management of antimicrobial restrictions and responding to rapid molecular blood culture results. The resident will also help manage the antimicrobial formulary, create hospital antibiograms, analyze antimicrobial use data and oversee a variety of guidelines and resources that serve the Vidant system. The Infectious Diseases division affiliated with Vidant offers the resident opportunities such as inpatient consult rounding, ambulatory clinic visits and collaboration with the Infectious Diseases Fellow program. A formal OPAT program also provides the resident with exposure to the transitions of care involved with complete infectious disease management.

The PGY2 Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Resident will be involved with the antimicrobial stewardship subcommittee of the Vidant Health System P&T. They will attend an infectious diseases case conference, infectious diseases journal club, infection control committee meetings and other regulatory/quality committee meetings. Precepting opportunities will include pharmacy students, PGY1 pharmacy residents and other learners as able.
