2020 Pharmacy Residency Excellence Awards Recipients
Cleveland Clinic PGY2 Critical Care Pharmacy Residency Receives Program Award
The ASHP Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2020 Pharmacy Residency Excellence Awards. This awards program, sponsored by Amgen and Samson Medical Technologies, features three categories that recognize innovative and impactful pharmacy residency preceptors and programs.
This year, the Pharmacy Residency Excellence Program Award is being given to the Cleveland Clinic PGY2 Critical Care Pharmacy Residency. This program, one of 14 at Cleveland Clinic, has measured and demonstrated real impact on patient care and outcomes from their residents and preceptors. They have successfully expanded and enhanced services by incorporating their residents more directly into patient care. In addition, their program participants have a track record of publishing and presenting research, many in high impact journals. At least six manuscripts generated from former resident projects have been cited over 25 times by other studies.
“The success of this residency program serves as an example to inspire other residency programs to evaluate and enhance their programs,” said ASHP Foundation CEO Steven A. Rubloff. “The program’s commitment to developing research and leadership skills give residents the ability to thrive in a variety of settings.”
