Summary
This is a one-year pharmacy residency program that takes place July 8, 2026 through
July 7, 2027.
Our program is a joint collaboration between LIU Pharmacy and The Brooklyn Hospital
Center. The emergency department is a level two trauma center and a designated
regional stroke and STEMI center with more than 75,000 annual patient visits. The
residency experience is designed to develop the resident into an independent
practitioner with advanced expertise in emergency medicine by conceptualizing and
integrating experience and knowledge. The resident will also receive a comprehensive
experience to the three-legged stool of academia: teaching, service, and scholarship.
Graduates will be prepared to assume positions in emergency medicine as highly
qualified pharmacotherapy specialists by an institution or as assistant professors at a
college of pharmacy, as well as be prepared to sit for the board certification exam in
emergency medicine.
Key Responsibilities
The program will include clinical rotations in emergency medicine, critical care, pediatric
critical care/emergency medicine, and infectious diseases in addition to a toxicology
rotation at the NYC Poison Control Center and an ambulance ride-along. Residents will
participate in the in-house on-call program where they will play a key role in emergency
response and maintenance of clinical services. This will require the resident to stay in
the hospital for a 12-hour shift or overnight for a 24-hour shift participating in adult and
pediatric medical emergencies and responding to antimicrobial, drug information, and
pharmacokinetic consults. Residents will practice under a collaborative drug therapy
management agreement in the emergency department which includes the review of
