PGY2 Pain Management and Palliative Care Residency
Lakeland Regional Health
Lakeland Regional Health (LRH) is Florida’s fifth largest hospital with 864 beds located between Tampa and Orlando. LRH is a comprehensive tertiary referral hospital operating as a Level II Trauma Center, a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the nation’s busiest single-site Emergency Department. LRH handles over 2,100 trauma visits annually and holds accreditations for its Advanced Primary Stroke Center and Chest Pain Center. The hospital has a 31-bed palliative care unit, as well as four nearby hospices. A pharmacist-run inpatient pain management consult service sees between 30 and 50 patients per day, presenting with a variety of acute and chronic complaints. The Pain Management and Palliative Care Residency is a 12-month, organized, directed, postgraduate training program that focuses on developing the skills and competencies necessary to provide optimal pharmaceutical care to pain and palliative care patients. The resident is expected to become an integral component of the multi-disciplinary team and work with physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other health care professionals on a daily basis. Under the guidance of three pain management and palliative care specialists, clinical pharmacy specialists in other disciplines, and physicians trained in anesthesiology, neurology, addiction recovery, trauma, and palliative care, the resident will develop professional confidence and clinical skills. Residency graduates are equipped to participate as essential members of multidisciplinary pain management and palliative care teams and are able to make complex therapeutic recommendations in various practice settings. Training focuses on developing residents’ capabilities to deal with a range of pain syndromes, including chronic malignant and non-malignant pain, neuropathic pain, and pain related to neurologic, orthopedic and rheumatologic conditions. Palliative care emphasis is placed on symptom management throughout patients’ illnesses and at the end of life. Core rotations include inpatient acute and chronic pain management, palliative and hospice care, oncology, trauma, and psychiatry. Elective rotations include addiction recovery, emergency medicine, headache clinic, interventional medicine, pain and sedation in the ICU, or intensification of any required rotation. Residents are offered flexibility to tailor the program to their post-graduate interests. Additional requirements for successful completion include a medication use evaluation, a research project, and a CE seminar.
