Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Residency - Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program
The Ochsner Medical Center PGY-2 Residency in Infectious Diseases is a year-long program that provides the resident advanced pharmacotherapy training for a diverse population of patients with infectious diseases.
As an integral member of the infectious diseases team, the resident will learn to optimize antimicrobial pharmacotherapy for patients across the care continuum. Additionally, residents will gain proficiency in the management of infectious diseases in transplant and other immunocompromised patients. Finally, robust experiences in antimicrobial stewardship and infection control practices at both the local and system level strengthen the resident’s training.
