The University of Kentucky Pharmacy Resident On-Call Program is one of the
highlights as well as one of the challenges of being a UK resident. Twenty-four hours per day, seven days
per week, 365 days per year, one of the pharmacy residents is on-call, in
house at the
medical center, providing continuity to our pharmaceutical care from one day to the next. |

It
is a fantastic experience to be faced with many challenges each day (and night) while
on-call. The on-call resident is a member of the adult code blue team, the pediatric code
blue team, the chest pain alert team, and the stroke team. In addition to these
responsibilities, call questions range from pharmacokinetics consultation, to general
consults for medical information. Our call room is in the house staff quarters among
the rest of the call rooms. This experience enhances the overall training you will receive here at UK.
