Overview

This one-year infectious diseases residency position has a unique scope that spans both hospital and ambulatory based infectious diseases care and antimicrobial stewardship policy. Though the physical location of the residency is at the flagship tertiary care hospital in Marshfield Wisconsin, the resident’s responsibilities will span the breadth of the health system’s antimicrobial stewardship program; 11 hospitals (3 critical access) and 60+ ambulatory clinics across Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan. Training will include didactic and practical education in caring for a variety of infectious syndromes, antimicrobial use and microbiologic data collection and analysis, the provision of health-care professional education, and the development and management of antimicrobial stewardship policy that will direct the practice of the entire rural health system.

The PGY2 program will be unique in its design to equip the resident with the necessary skills and knowledge to grow and administrate their own antimicrobial stewardship program as well as to develop the clinical abilities required of an infectious diseases pharmacist. The resident will further have the opportunity to tailor their PGY2 experience to their specific interests with numerous longitudinal research and safety projects and participation in secondary quality and patient care committees. The resident will also be given responsibilities consistent with developing program competencies from ASHP as outlined below.

Program Purpose Statement

PGY2 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in specialized areas of practice.  PGY2 residencies provide residents with opportunities to function independently as practitioners by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge and incorporating both into the provision of patient care or other advanced practice settings.  Residents who successfully complete an accredited PGY2 pharmacy residency are prepared for advanced patient care, academic or other specialized positions, along with board certification, if available.
