About the School PharmD Program PhD Residency Program Current Research In the Community Alumni Society

The critical care pharmacy residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) is designed for the individual interested in developing specialized clinical expertise in pharmaceutical care for critically ill patients. UPMC is the premier health system in western Pennsylvania and one of the most renowned academic medical centers in the United States. The critical care pharmacy resident will gain expertise in interpretation of hemodynamic monitoring, pathophysiology of acute illness and resulting sequela, nutritional support, therapeutic drug monitoring, infusion therapy, support devices, and pharmacy practice issues of the intensive care unit.

The resident will be integrally involved in research opportunities and education of students and other healthcare professionals.  Many opportunities to present formal seminars, patient cases, journal clubs, and in-service education for UPMC staff occur throughout the year.  In addition, the resident will design and conduct a research project focused on critical care that is suitable for presentation and publication.  The resident will gain experience in both didactic and experiential teaching as an adjunct instructor and preceptor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy.  Highly motivated individuals with a strong interest in critical care who are committed to providing optimal pharmaceutical care within a team-oriented setting are encouraged to apply. We invite you to learn more about this exciting opportunity.
