Our PGY2 Infectious Diseases (ID) Pharmacy Residency is a one-year postgraduate specialty training program that offers residents an immersive experience in all aspects related to ID pharmacy after they have completed a PGY1 residency. 
 
The program has 3 major goals: 1) develop the resident into a strong antimicrobial steward; 2) gain experience in providing care to diverse population needing specialized infectious diseases and antimicrobial management; and 3) enhance knowledge, skills and attitudes of a strong preceptor. Residents will become fully integrated into the antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) team and infectious diseases department to manage the ASP service as well as assist ID providers with complex pharmaceutical regimens. Additionally, they will be expected to complete quality improvement projects, and gain experience in inpatient pharmacy leadership, including committee work and precepting activities. 
 
Residents will complete training in pharmacy operations, required core rotations, and multiple elective rotations during the 12-month residency program. Our program partners with Stanford Hospital & Clinics to potentially offer one elective rotation to the ID pharmacy resident. The rationale for selecting the required rotations is to comply with ASHP standards and ensure that residents will acquire the necessary clinical skills to become effective practitioners of the future. Residents are encouraged to select elective rotations that match their individual preferences, and which build upon past experiences. Required rotations and elective rotations are highlighted below.
 
Required 
  • ASP Service (3 core rotations)
  • ID Consult (1 rotation)
  • HIV/ID Clinic (longitudinal)
 
Elective 
  • Microbiology
  • Community Hospital ASP Service
  • Critical Care
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Internal Medicine
  • Hematology/Oncology (inpatient)
  • Public Health Clinic
  • Stanford Hospital & Clinics elective
