UK HEALTHCARE Critical Care

The critical care residency is a one-year ASHP-accredited specialty residency that offers in-depth experience in a variety of critical care areas including trauma, neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery, medicine, coronary intensive care, solid organ transplantation, and emergency medicine. The primary emphasis of the program is to develop clinicians with expertise in the care of critically ill patients and prepare residents to sit for the BCCCP exam. Residents completing the program are expected to demonstrate competency in the areas of contemporary pharmacy practice, written and oral communication, teaching, and critical care clinical research. 

The critical care residents participate in clinical research activities that are presented at national meetings and are submitted for publication. The program is affiliated with a nationally-recognized college of pharmacy which provides residents with opportunities to engage in educational activities including precepting Doctor of Pharmacy students, facilitating group discussions and didactic lectures, in addition to providing in-services for other health care practitioners.
