Pharmacy Practice Residency

The one-year Pharmacy Practice Residency Program in Pharmacy at SUNY Upstate Medical University attracts outstanding Doctor of Pharmacy graduates from across the nation. The program is fully accredited by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) and draws upon the resources of our academic medical center including a teaching hospital, medical school and research enterprise.

Residents are given training options within the scope of excellent pharmacy practice to pursue their interests. Our residents also perform consultative services:

• Clinical pharmacology
• Clinical pharmacokinetics
• Geriatric pharmacotherapy
• Clinical toxicology

During consultations, residents document their assessments and recommendations with the assistance of experienced faculty. Many of our graduates go on to pursue post-graduate specialty and fellowship training or clinical and academic teaching positions.

Pediatric Pharmacy Specialty Residency

A Pediatric Pharmacy Specialty Residency is offered to candidates who seek to gain intensive experience in pediatric pharmacy practice. Under the guidance of the Pediatric Residency Director, Dr. Luke Probst, the resident will acquire knowledge and experience in many areas including:

• Pediatric Intensive Care
• Hematology-Oncology
• Emergency Medicine
• Ambulatory Care
• Inpatient Pediatric Pharmacy Practice
• Other Elective Subspecialty Areas

The ideal candidate will have completed a PGY-1 pharmacy practice residency and demonstrate a strong interest and aptitude in pediatric pharmacy practice. The opening of the Golisano Children's Hospital in September 2009 - the focal point of a major vertical expansion at University Hospital - concentrates inpatient pediatric care in a child and family-centric center.
