This Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Residency is a 12-month PGY2 residency program focused in pediatrics sponsored by St. Jude and conducted in collaboration with Le Bonheur Children's Hospital (LBCH). Both sites have well-established ASHP-accredited pharmacy residency programs. The St. Jude / LBCH partnership provides the resident advanced training with experienced preceptors in ID pharmacotherapy for a diverse range of pediatric patient populations including those with immunocompromise. St. Jude and LBCH pharmacists practice at the top of their licenses and offer comprehensive pharmacy services. St. Jude is an Infectious Disease Society of America Center of Excellence for Antimicrobial Stewardship. LBCH is the major pediatric clinical training site for the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) at Memphis and pharmacists have collaboratively provided antimicrobial stewardship services at the institution for over 11 years.

The resident will gain clinical experience at both sites with general ID consult services and transplant ID consult services for bone marrow and solid organ transplant. St. Jude offers special ID experiences in oncology and non-malignant hematology (primarily sickle cell disease). LBCH offers ID experiences in general pediatrics and critical care. St. Jude offers longitudinal experience in pharmacokinetics, pharmacogenomics, and basic science research while LBCH (with UTHSC) offers extensive academic opportunities including didactic lectures and precepting students on clinical rotation.

The resident will be expected to complete a major project relevant to infectious diseases. Experiences during the residency will enable the resident to pursue a clinical, research, or academic career focused on infectious diseases in a wide range of pediatric populations.
