Pharmacy Residency Program

The Henry Ford Hospital Department of Pharmacy Services has been training pharmacy residents since 1980 and is regarded as a premier institution for training pharmacists.  Historically, Henry Ford Hospital has trained "specialty" pharmacy residents in critical care, nephrology, and solid organ transplant.  In 2006, a PGY1 residency training program was reinstituted.  The program received ASHP accreditation for 6 years, which is notable since most programs receive 3 year accreditation and only 8% of residency programs receive 6 year accreditation.  In 2007, the PGY1 program was expanded to 6 residents, making Henry Ford Hospital the largest PGY1 residency program in Michigan.  Henry Ford Hospital also offers a PGY2 residency in critical care.  In addition, a PGY2 residency in infectious diseases began in 2009.

The following programs are available at Henry Ford Hospital:

  • Post-graduate year one (PGY1) residency in pharmacy practice (ASHP accredited)
  • Post-graduate year two (PGY2) residency in critical care (ASHP accredited)
  • Post-graduate year two (PGY2) residency in infectious diseases (ASHP candidate)

The Henry Ford Hospital Pharmacy Residency Program has received several national and local awards:

  • Susan Davis, PharmD (infectious diseases preceptor) received the 2008 New Preceptor Award from the ASHP Foundation Pharmacy Residency Excellence Award program. This national award recognizes excellence, service, and innovation in a preceptor in the first five years of practice.
  • James Kalus, PharmD, BCPS (PGY1 program director) received the 2008 Preceptor of the Year award from the Southeastern Michigan Society of Health-System Pharmacists.
  • The PGY1 Residency in Pharmacy Practice received the 2009 Amgen Residency Award, which is awarded annually to residency programs demonstrating excellence in the preparation of future pharmacists.
  • The PGY2 Residency in Infectious Diseases was awarded the Society of Infectious Disease Pharmacists/Ortho McNeil Janssen Infectious Diseases Residency Award, which supports the development of training programs that are committed to excellence in infectious disease pharmacotherapy practice.
