PGY2 Pain Management & Palliative Care Pharmacy Residency

At 910 beds, Lakeland Regional Health is among the largest hospitals in Florida with one of the busiest stand-alone Emergency Departments in the nation with a designated comprehensive stroke, primary chest, and level 1 trauma center. The hospital encompasses an 18 bed palliative care unit, a dedicated acute oncology unit, and a recently expanded behavioral health unit.   As a not‑for‑profit organization committed to innovation, patient safety, and community wellness, LRH provides residents with exposure to diverse patient populations across both inpatient and outpatient settings, creating a strong foundation for advanced clinical practice.

Pain management residents will benefit from rotational experiences that encompass patient populations with diverse medical conditions and disease states with focus on acute and chronic pain, oncology, trauma, palliative/hospice care, and psychiatry.  Expanded experiences include addiction recovery, interventional pain management, trauma critical care, and the emergency department.  Longitudinal experiences in research, precepting, presenting, and opioid stewardship focus on interdisciplinary collaboration with a supportive environment and strong mentorship. LRH’s resident-centered environment encourages self-development as well as building autonomy and professional identity. Graduates emerge well-equipped to advance and/or develop new pain services with a solid foundation of professional skills across any care setting.
