The UC San Diego Health PGY2 Pharmacy Informatics Residency is designed to prepare pharmacists to become leaders in health information technology. This program offers immersive, hands-on experience in optimizing the Electronic Health Record (EHR) to enhance medication safety, streamline workflows, and support clinical decision-making.
Residents work as integral members of the Medication Processes team within the Information Services department, gaining expertise across all stages of the EHR lifecycle—from design and build to implementation, monitoring, and optimization. Through a combination of informatics, clinical, and operational training, residents learn to analyze healthcare needs, propose technology-driven solutions, and evaluate outcomes.
Residents receive formal Epic training and achieve accreditation or certification in Epic Willow Inpatient. This credential provides a strong foundation for advanced informatics work, including system design, configuration, and ongoing support.
As full-time team members, residents will:
Design and implement solutions for user-reported issues and new projects.
Support the entire medication management process, including ordering, verification, dispensing, documentation, and billing.
Contribute to initiatives involving clinical decision support, e-prescribing, reporting, interfaces, and retail pharmacy systems.
Develop clinical decision support tools and work with data analytics and reporting.
Collaborate on system integrations and optimization projects.
Participate in committees such as Clinical Decision Support Oversight and Medication Alerts.
Deliver user training, precept students and residents, join the on-call rotation, and complete a major project suitable for conference presentation.
Additional responsibilities include staffing to strengthen clinical and operational experience, serving as a liaison to pharmacy staff, and gaining exposure to non-EHR technologies such as infusion pumps and automated dispensing cabinets. Residents will also learn to manage multiple projects with competing priorities and diverse stakeholders.
Graduates of the program will be prepared for informatics pharmacist roles, equipped to manage and enhance medication-related workflows within complex EHR systems. They will serve as specialists and key resources in pharmacy informatics, ready to lead initiatives that improve patient care through technology.
?Located in "America's finest city" of San Diego, our academic Health System serves as a primary teaching site of UC San Diego Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences IPPE and APPE students, UC San Diego School of Medicine and other professional programs in the health sciences. Residents may rotate at the UCSD Medical Center in Hillcrest, Jacobs Medical Center in La Jolla, Moores Cancer Center, an NCI designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center, all of which support a full range and scope of medical and surgical specialties as well as general medicine and surgery units. We have over 25 electives to offer residents, with extensive critical care, transplant, oncology, psychiatry, transitions of care, and internal medicine experiences available. We offer residents a wonderful learning environment that will help them prepare for advanced specialty PGY2 residencies and for career paths in academia, hospital practice (teaching and community), transitions of care, internal medicine, ambulatory care, IT, administration, critical care and more. Residents are an integral and active member of multidisciplinary teams that provide direct patient ...care. Residents participate in the San Diego Pharmacy Residency Leadership Teaching Certificate program and attend CSHP Seminar, ASHP Midyear and the UC Collaborative Pharmacy Research Conference. We have dedicated, supportive preceptors and a foundation of required and elective rotations to help the resident find their niche and pursue their passion in areas of interest. Our preceptors, administrators and staff support the resident as they develop and apply clinical patient care and research skills; confidence builds over the course of the year along with a strong clinical foundation and independence. The residents' post-residency marketability is one of our primary goals and we believe that our core requirements, electives, staffing component and teaching certificate program prepare the resident to be highly competitive in the pharmacy job market - a strong contender regardless of the career path that the resident chooses.
