Infectious Diseases PGY3 Clinical Pharmacy Fellow

The 12-month Infectious Diseases Clinical Pharmacy Fellowship follows the successful completion of a PGY2 Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Residency. The fellowship program, which offers training in clinical infectious diseases, clinical and translational research and academia, prepares you for many career opportunities. These opportunities include a non-tenure or tenure-track faculty position, clinical specialist position or an industry position.

The fellowship mixes academia and research with direct patient care activities. Program faculty who are noted regional and national experts in clinical infectious diseases share their research and academic expertise. Fellows work with other pharmacy and medical trainees, including residents and pharmacy students in a unique blend of patient care activities, clinical and translational research and didactic and experiential student instruction.

Most patient care activities occur at Prisma Health Richland Hospital, the university-affiliated tertiary care and academic medical center for the Prisma Health Medical Group. Primary and elective rotations include key areas of inpatient and outpatient infectious diseases including microbiology, HIV clinic, ID consults and antimicrobial stewardship.

Fellows are designated with an academic affiliate instructor appointment at the University of South Carolina College of Pharmacy and work closely with the Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program of Prisma Health/University of South Carolina School of Medicine. You will be eligible to enroll in a dual-degree program through the Arnold School of Public Health. The School of Public Health offers masters programs in public health with emphasis on epidemiology and biostatistics. You will be awarded a certificate of completion after finishing the infectious diseases clinical fellowship requirements and objectives.

Graduating fellows will be prepared for a variety of future opportunities within the specialty of infectious diseases, from academia to independent research and more.
