Medication Use Safety and Policy
(MUSP) Residency Program

  • Home
  • Wellstar Pharmacy Residency
  • PGY2 MUSP Pharmacy Residency

Program Purpose

The purpose of postgraduate year two (PGY2) pharmacy residency programs are to build on Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in a specialized area of practice. PGY2 residencies provide residents with opportunities to function independently as practitioners by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge and incorporating both into the provision of patient care or other advanced practice settings. Residents who successfully complete an accredited PGY2 pharmacy residency are prepared for advanced patient care, academic, or other specialized positions, along with board certification, if available.

Program Goals

The goal of this residency program is to provide educational and training experiences for pharmacists in contemporary pharmacy practice in an organized healthcare system. The Wellstar Medication Use Safety and Policy (MUSP) residency program will utilize the collective assets of Wellstar Health System (WHS) to accomplish this goal. The major job responsibilities of this position are provision of medication safety services, continuing education, drug distribution, leadership, and research. This program is designed to assure competency with the outcomes, goals and objectives outlined in the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Accreditation Standards. In addition to the expectations outlined in the accreditation standards we expect residents to be able to:

  • Function effectively as a member of the healthcare team
  • Follow the “best practice” model in the delivery of patient care
  • Identify, prevent, and resolve medication-related problems
  • Participate in drug use review, drug policy development, and quality improvement initiatives
  • Educate healthcare providers, patients, and students through written and verbal means
  • Master skills for future success in either a specialty residency or clinical practice
