Critical Care Systems announces the launch of its pharmacy residency program

NASHUA, New Hampshire Critical Care Systems today has announced the launch of a new one-year, postgraduate residency program for pharmacy training. Critical Care Systems is an infusion provider that offers services to pediatric and adult patients.

Pharmacists with field experience will train residents in the care of home and specialty infusion patients. Residents will also have hands-on training in infusion pharmacy services, covering clinical, managerial and operational skills.

The program, dubbed Critical Care Systems Clinical University, will also offer opportunites for learning on the job in rotations with academic and corporate pharmacy preceptors giving training in drug information services, nutrition support, performance improvement, reimbursement and risk management.

At present, Critical Care Systems is seeking accreditation from the American Society of Health Systems Pharmacists Residency Accreditation Services for its newly named residency program.  Only around 1,500 pharmacists complete residencies each year, Critical Care Systems has said, and there is a need for specialized training in infusion systems.
