PGY2 Pediatric Pharmacy Residency

Cone Health has a legacy of pharmacy residency training since 1968 and has trained pediatric clinical specialists for over 25 years – initially with a NICU fellowship, then the only ASHP approved PGY2 NICU Residency Program, and now an ASHP Accredited PGY2 Pediatric Pharmacy Residency Program. We are located within the Women’s and Children’s Center at Moses Cone Hospital which opened in February 2020. Our year-long program is designed to prepare the resident to develop advanced knowledge, clinical skills, and expertise to serve as a pediatric pharmacy specialist on a multidisciplinary team. Mentorship by pharmacists, physicians and administrators throughout the year gives our residents a unique training experience.

The resident will work closely with the program director and coordinator to develop a schedule that is tailored to match the resident’s personal goals and residency requirements. In addition to core rotations listed below, our collaborative relationships with nearby tertiary centers allow the resident to experience a variety of specialty patient populations including ECMO, hematology/oncology, transplant, and pediatric infectious diseases. The program structure will remain flexible throughout the year to ensure that all goals and learning opportunities are accomplished.
