Post-Graduate Year 2 (PGY2): Emergency Medicine Pharmacy
Residency Details
Our PGY2 emergency medicine residency is a one-year specialty training program to offer residents an experience with all aspects in emergency medicine after completion of a PGY1 residency. This PGY2 in emergency medicine is designed to transition PGY1 graduates from general practice to specialized practice to meet the needs of patients in the emergency department.
With access to different emergency departments in the Boise area, the PGY2 EM resident will have the opportunity for a well-rounded experience that ranges from pediatric trauma, adult trauma stabilization, critically ill patients, toxicology, oncologic emergencies in pediatric patients, rural medicine, antimicrobial stewardship/ED culture review, pre/post hospital emergency department care in a diverse population as well as MICU/SICU opportunities. Pharmacy residents will complete training in required core rotations, longitudinal rotations and elective rotations. The primary site of PGY2 EM training will be at St. Luke's Boise which is the only dedicated/acting level II pediatric trauma program in the state of Idaho.
This 52-week program offers an approximate $61,000 stipend with additional benefits of professional travel reimbursement (financial support provided for attendance at required educational meetings), free parking, paid vacation, health insurance (medical, dental, and vision), and life insurance.
Residency Start Date: First or second Monday in July (depending on when the holiday falls)
