PGY2 Pediatric Pharmacy Residency Faculty

The Pediatric Pharmacy PGY2 Program Preceptors are a dedicated group of pediatric clinicians. We are proud of our staff accomplishments and put a large emphasis on continued education and professional development. This is evidenced by the fact that 85% of our PGY2 program preceptors are Board Certified in at least one specialty area with 70% of our preceptors having completed residency training. Our resident works alongside preceptors who have a wealth of knowledge and experience, with 50% of our preceptors having at least 10 years of experience in their areas of practice. In addition to the PGY2 core preceptors, the resident will work with a diverse group of exceptional pediatric clinical pharmacists and technicians. Our department consists of a total of 29 pharmacists, 15 of which are board certified clinicians, and 30 technicians who all share a common goal of providing quality and safe care to our pediatric patient population.
