Research and Scholarly Activity

The PGY2 pharmacy resident is required to complete a longitudinal research or quality improvement project. While the resident is expected to be the primary investigator, pharmacy faculty mentors will be assigned to provide guidance based on practice area or topic. Our site also offers assistance with protocol development from an academic research coordinator and with comprehensive literature searches. Scholarly projects are presented at local and national conferences throughout the year.

Additionally, the PGY2 pharmacy resident will co-precept at least one PharmD student, develop a formulary monograph, complete at least one medication use evaluation and present at least one formal educational presentation to health care professionals.
