PGY2 residency programs build upon Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency training to develop pharmacist practitioners with knowledge, skills, and abilities as defined in the educational competency areas, goals, and objectives for advanced practice areas. Residents who successfully complete PGY2 residency programs are prepared for advanced patient care or other specialized positions, and board certification in the advanced practice area, if available.
The ASHP-accredited Eskenazi Health and Purdue University PGY2 Psychiatric Pharmacy Residency program operates out of Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Center, which specializes in the provision of psychiatric care to residents of Marion County. Pharmacy residents have the opportunity to partake in the care of individuals with serious mental illness and addiction, as well as the opportunity to interact with treatment teams consisting of psychiatrists, psychiatric residents, medical students, nurses, social workers, clinical psychologists and case managers.
Defined as organized and directed postgraduate training in psychiatric pharmacy, the PGY2 program focuses on the development of knowledge, skills and behaviors required for the successful provision of pharmaceutical care in the inpatient and ambulatory psychiatric care settings while incorporating the scope of practice of Eskenazi Health Pharmacy.
Upon successful completion of the PGY2 psychiatric residency, the residency shall competently be able to:
-
Provide patient-specific pharmaceutical care in the inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings.
-
Educate patients, students and other health care professionals.
-
Work effectively with the psychiatric treatment team and other health care professionals to improve medication use in the psychiatric treatment setting.
-

-
Demonstrate the innovation necessary to develop and improve upon pharmaceutical care services in the psychiatric treatment setting.
Early Commitment: The PGY2 psychiatry program at Eskenazi Health will decide and communicate to internal residents whether the program will be pursuing early commitment that year. This does not guarantee an internal resident will be offered early commitment. Internal PGY1 residents may only apply to early commit to one PGY2 program within Eskenazi Health.
We invite you to learn more about our program through the following events.
