Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency at University Health

University Health (UH) is the public hospital district for Bexar County and the primary teaching facility for The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. It is home to the premier Level 1 Trauma Center for adults and the only Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center in South Texas, serving a 22 county region.  Since 2001, University Hospital, the health system’s flagship institution which operates 639 acute care and specialty beds, has been consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report among the best hospitals in Texas and the San Antonio region. UH is also the first health system in San Antonio and South Texas to earn Magnet status from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, which is widely accepted as the “gold standard” in measuring the quality of care that healthcare consumers can expect to receive.  A full range of medical services is available at numerous community clinics, including the renowned Texas Diabetes Institute.

The University Health PGY2 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Residency Program provides a challenging, well-rounded training environment that will expose residents to a variety of chronic disease states and clinical practice settings. In addition to community involvement and direct patient care of ambulatory patients, residents will have opportunities to develop their academic skills by precepting pharmacy students and teaching other learners such as medical students and medical residents. Residents will also demonstrate leadership and practice management skills and are expected to complete an ambulatory care research project. Graduates of the program are prepared to take clinical pharmacy specialist and faculty positions related to ambulatory care.
