The newest issue of AJHP just arrived at my house. First article I noticed starts on pg 1199 (vol 71)
"The future of specialized pharmacy residencies: Time for postgraduate year 3 subspeciality training."
It has been a rumor for a while now, and it looks like it is happening.
I haven't been able to do anything but skim, but it looks like the authors are advocating a 3rd year residency/fellowship for the most specialized training.
Examples they give include: Endocrinology, Pediatric Hem/Onc (currently a PGY2 residency), Geriatrics, Nephrology, Hospice/Palliative Care, and Advanced Clinical Administrative Leadership.
I really thought required PGY1's would come first, but this looks like I might be wrong.
This definitely doesn't read like an ASHP opinion paper, so its probably a while off (at least for accredited residencies). I am very glad I am going to be out before people start thinking about implementing this.
Any thoughts? Anyone read this yet?
