Program Specific Information:

The PGY2 Emergency Medicine (EM) Pharmacy Residency (fully accredited by ASHP) is designed to build upon a resident’s past learning experiences to become a highly knowledgeable, evidence based, and functional clinical pharmacist in the emergency department (ED). The one-year specialty residency program is designed to provide residents with advanced training in emergency medicine, with a focus on adult & pediatric critical care and urgent care, toxicology, pre-hospital care, emergency medicine practice management, research, teaching, and emergency preparedness. 

Our resident is fully integrated in the emergency medicine model, working side by side with physicians, nurses and technicians. During the year the resident will expand upon their clinical knowledge through a wide variety of clinical rotations 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.
