30, 2017. Mandatory resident orientation will take place the week of June 13, 2016. During July, residents
will rotate through various areas of the Pharmacy Department and develop skills required for the provision of
pharmacy services. Clinical rotations are 5 weeks in duration and begin the last Monday in July. Pharmacy
residency policies can be referenced on the UVA pharmacy website at:
http://www.medicalcenter.virginia.edu/pharmacy/residency_info
I. PGY1-Pharmacy Residency Rotations
Required Rotations
Acute Care Specialty- Rotation in one Acute Care Specialty area (see choices below)
Critical Care- Rotation in one of the Critical Care areas (see choices below)
Medication Use Policy- Rotation in the Medication Use Policy Center
General Medicine- Rotation in Ambulatory Care or Internal Medicine
Practice Management- Rotation with the Pharmacy Services Administrator/Directors/Managers
Acute Care Specialty
Benign Hematology
Emergency Department

Pediatrics
Solid Organ Transplantation
Stem Cell Transplantation
Critical Care Rotations
Coronary Care Unit (CCU)
Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU)
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
Nerancy Neuro Intensive Care Unit (NNICU)
Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)
Surgical Trauma/Burn Unit (STICU)
Thoracic/Cardiovascular Surgery Post-Op

Medication Safety
Residents will have up to three rotations (15 weeks) available for elective rotations. To maintain compliance
with the accreditation standard, no more than 3 rotations can occur in a similar practice area (eg, critical care,
pediatrics) and at least two-thirds of the year is spent in direct patient care learning experiences. Additional
rotations may be developed based on resident interest and preceptor availability. Between the third and
fourth rotation blocks (November and December), residents will have a mixture of research days and mini-
rotations.
Mini-rotations are abbreviated experiences (3-10 days in duration) held for a total of 13-16 days in
November and December. These abbreviated experiences provide residents with exposure to areas in which
1) they do not have a scheduled rotation; 2) they would like repeat experiences beyond their scheduled
rotations; or 3) they would like a varied experience beyond their scheduled rotations (ambulatory
hematology/ oncology vs. inpatient hematology/ oncology). Additionally, there are select mini-rotations held
with services/ departments outside of the pharmacy (ie, nutrition services, toxicology, pharmacogenomics
research lab).
II. Research Activities
a. Completion of a major project is a requirement of the residency. Final reports must be submitted in
manuscript style and approved by the Project Advisor and Program Director.
b. During the first half of the year, each resident will also complete a Medication Use Evaluation or Quality
Improvement project. Completed projects will be submitted for poster presentation at the University
HealthSystem Consortium meeting held in conjunction with the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting.
III. Presentation Requirements
a. Residents are required to provide a platform presentation on the results of their residency research
project at the regional residency conference.
b. Each resident is responsible for presenting one seminar, one case conference, and one technician talk
during the course of the residency year. The seminar is ACPE-accredited to provide continuing
education (CE) to pharmacists and the tech talk is ACPE-accredited for technician CE. .
IV. Professional Leave for Meeting Attendance
a. Residents will attend the ASHP Annual Midyear Clinical Meeting and the regional residency conference.
A flat travel stipend is provided; expenses incurred beyond the stipend are the responsibility of the
resident.
V. Longitudinal Service
a. Participation in the service component provides necessary training and allows the residents to meet the
intent of the ASHP residency standard. Over the course of the year, residents work in various areas in
the department including IV admixtures, unit dose, and decentralized clinical coverage.
b. Residents provide service in the distributive/ clinical areas 16 hours every other weekend. Additionally,
residents will work one major holiday (Thanksgiving and the day after, Christmas Eve and Christmas
Day, or New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day) and the associated weekend.
VI. Certification
Residents complete American Heart Association Advanced Cardiac Life Support training and certification
and respond to cardiopulmonary emergencies. Additionally, PGY2 residents have the opportunity to
participate in the Certificate in Public Health Sciences for Resident and Fellow Physicians
(https://med.virginia.edu/phs/education-programs-in-public-health-sciences/other-educational-
programs/certificate-program/).
VII. Teaching
The Department of Pharmacy has a partnership with VCU School of Pharmacy to offer a UVA Division
Satellite Campus and serves as a rotation site for introductory and advanced pharmacy practice experiences.
Residents will have a variety of teaching opportunities that include providing didactic experiences, serving as
laboratory teaching assistants, and co-precepting students on clinical rotations. Through a partnership with
the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Pharmacy, UVAHS pharmacy residents have the
opportunity to earn a Teaching and Learning Certificate.
