Kaylyn Dougherty
Resident: Kaylyn A. Dougherty, PharmD, MHIIM (2018-2019)
PGY1: University of Michigan Managed Care
Pharmacy School: University of Tennessee Health Science Center

Why UW? The Drug Information Program at UW offers residents a unique blend of experiences in drug policy, formulary management, medication safety and pharmacy informatics within a pharmacy department whose culture is noticeably collaborative, innovative and progressive. A UW residency program graduate once told me, “If you train at Wisconsin, you will see pharmacy at its highest potential; possibilities surrounding patient care collaboration and quality improvement are endless.” His words resonated with me and my heart was set on becoming a Badger. Lastly, everyone is really nice and supportive, especially the Drug Policy Team.
Current Position: Clinical Pharmacy Specialist, Drug Information and Policy, VCU Medical Center, Richmond VA
The UW Health PGY2 Medication-Use Safety and Policy Residency is designed to transition PGY1 residency graduates from generalist practice to specialized roles as an organizational leader in the development of safe and effective medication-use processes and policies. The program is designed to develop residents into experts in analyzing, synthesizing and disseminating medication-related information and stewards of evidence-based medication utilization across a health system. Graduates will possess the advanced facilitation skills to inform the organization’s policy-making bodies, influence their decision making and participate in the management of the decision-making process. The superior communication skills developed in this residency enable a graduate to function as a leader for activities such as conducting mediation safety initiatives and drug information practice-related projects.
Program Goals
Residents will exit the program with knowledge and experience that identifies them as authoritative resources on medication-use safety and formulary management. Residents will gain a fundamental understanding of formulary evaluation processes, clinical decision-support, principles of human error and human factors engineering, medication-use safety nomenclature, and a culture of safety. They can critically interpret and synthesize information from a variety of sources to formulate recommendations for improvement and have a broad perspective of organizational dynamics. They are also trained to be highly effective communicators and project managers. They can employ this background to effectively represent the medication-use safety and policy perspective when the organization considers the design of its formulary processes, medication-use technology and automation systems.
The PGY2 Medication-Use Safety and Policy residency offers advanced training opportunities for residents to develop expertise in:
Assessing Safe and Effective Medication-Use Systems and Policies
Medication-Use Data Collection and Analysis
Designing Safe and Effective Medication-Use Systems/Policies
Drug Shortages and Supply Interruptions
Medication-Use Technology
Medication-Use Research
Leadership and Management
Teaching, Education and Dissemination of Knowledge
Residency Structure
To achieve the goals of the program, the resident will work collaboratively with numerous multidisciplinary committees:
