Pharmacotherapy at University Hospital

The Specialty Practice Residency is conducted principally at University Hospital.

University Health System is a 604-bed tertiary care facility. The institution has been included in US News and World Report’s top 100 hospitals since 2000. The system also includes 5 outpatient clinics throughout San Antonio.

University Hospital serves as a major teaching facility for the College of Pharmacy, The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, and Dentistry as well as supporting medical residency programs for most medical specialties.

Rotations emphasize direct patient care responsibilities and are typically one month in length.

UT—affiliated residents meet on a weekly basis for Advanced Pharmacotherapy Seminar. This seminar is an advanced—level clinical discussion led by the residents.

These sessions emphasize cased-based learning with a focus on developing problem-solving skills and critical thinking.

In addition to seminar, each resident will present a clinical topic at Pharmacotherapy Rounds which is teleconferenced to other remote sites.

Residents are required to design and complete at least one research protocol; participation in ongoing research is also encouraged.

Residents are assigned as teaching assistants, and as such, participate in didactic courses and serve in clinical teaching roles for PharmD interns.
