The PGY-2 Pediatric residency is a new 12-month postgraduate program offered at UMMC for 2024. The program will allow residents to build on foundational knowledge from PGY-1 residency experiences to develop specialized skills in the area of pediatric pharmacy. The resident will function independently as a member of interdisciplinary healthcare teams while optimizing and advancing pharmaceutical care for pediatric patients.
The University of Mississippi Medical Center includes a tertiary care hospital near downtown Jackson and serves the entire state of Mississippi as the largest diagnostic, treatment, and referral care system in the state.
