Emergency Medicine Residency Program

The PGY-2 Emergency Medicine Pharmacy Residency at St. Barnabas Hospital is a 12-month, full-time curriculum that provides the essential elements needed to develop a successful emergency medicine pharmacist.

  • Providing optimal medication therapy management for patients in need of emergent care
  • Designing and managing pharmacotherapy regimens for hospitalized patients in a variety of emergency medicine and intensive care settings:
  • Training in ACLS and PALS and longitudinal participation in medical emergencies and resuscitation
  • Training in ATLS and longitudinal participation in the trauma services provided in a Level II trauma center
  • Attendance of monthly New York City Poison Control City Center Consultant Conference
  • Opportunities for precepting, teaching, and counseling patients, students, residents, pharmacists, and other health care professionals as an integral part of the health care team

Pharmacists completing this residency will be competent practitioners of direct patient care in any emergency medicine environment. They will be accountable for achieving optimal drug therapy outcomes as members of the health care team. These pharmacists will exercise skill in educating other health care professionals, patients, and the community on drug-related topics. Also, the pharmacist will be able to integrate the accumulated experience and knowledge gained during previous training and transform it into improved pharmaceutical care for patients who are critically ill and that need emergent care. They will demonstrate professional maturity by following a personal philosophy of practice, monitoring their own performance, exhibiting commitment to the profession, and exercising leadership in improving the efficiency and safety of the medication-use system.
