NYU Langone Health offers a one-year postgraduate year two (PGY2) Critical Care Pharmacy Residency at NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island. Our program provides training to advance and consolidate pharmacists’ knowledge and practice in the field of critical care pharmacotherapy.

The PGY2 Critical Care Program provides training to advance pharmacists’ knowledge and practice in critical care pharmacotherapy by participating on the interdisciplinary team and providing evidence-based critical care pharmaceutical therapy to patients. The resident will develop clinical skills through a range of hands-on rotations and will gain experience in precepting and educating pharmacy students, residents, and medical house staff.
