The Cooper University Health Care PGY2 Emergency Medicine Pharmacy Residency program is a one year specialty residency that expands upon knowledge obtained from a Doctor of Pharmacy education and PGY1 pharmacy practice experience to provide specialized training in emergency medicine. This program offers residents opportunities to work collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team to develop and optimize patient care plans as well as develop skill sets to handle acute management of critically ill patients. Residents will learn to think critically, develop important time management skills and possess competencies that will allow them to function successfully as clinical pharmacists.
Residents at Cooper will rotate through several core experiences including emergency medicine, critical care, pediatrics, infectious disease and trauma. Cooper residents will also have the opportunity to work collaboratively with the addiction medicine team and toxicology consult service. Uniquely, they will also contribute to free open access medical education (FOAMed), through several web based platforms.
