Program Description
The PGY2 Solid Organ Transplant Pharmacy Residency at UW Medicine is in ASHP accreditation candidate status and provides twelve months of training focused on the care of solid organ transplant recipients and living organ donors. The primary practice site is University of Washington Medical Center Montlake Campus (UWMC-ML) and will provide residents with opportunities in all major solid organ patient populations in both the inpatient and ambulatory settings.
Residents work independently as an integral member of the healthcare team under the supervision of preceptors with extensive experience in their respective practice areas. In addition to direct patient care, the resident will participate in Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) meetings, HLA laboratory processes, morbidity and mortality conferences, opportunities to attend selection meetings, and national transplant conferences.
This program will train residents to participate as essential members of interdisciplinary teams caring for transplant patients and assume responsibility for medication-related aspects of care. Graduates of this program will be trained to serve as authoritative resources in their health systems for the optimal use of medications in transplant recipients, capable of leading the development in implementation of medication-related guidelines and protocols for transplant patient care, and be highly skilled in the design and delivery of education and training related to transplantation for a wide spectrum of potential audiences, including patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals in practice or in training.
