Annually the pharmacy department at UofL Health completes a knowledge gap analysis to identify areas where pharmacists would like to receive additional education. As an academic medical center, pharmacists at UofL encounter several specialized patient populations that can present to the ER, medical units, intensive care units, and ambulatory clinics. Therefore, it is important for pharmacists to become comfortable managing care of these patients as they transition through the health system. Pharmacists at UofL Health are responsible for submitting topic requests for CE program so that relevant and needed continuing education programming is offered.

Antimicrobial Stewardship Lecture Series sessions are designed to expose providers, nurses, and pharmacists to the most up to date literature surrounding  infectious diseases. The antimicrobial stewardship program aims to remain compliant with Joint Commission and Center for Medicare and Medicaid services requirements outlined in the elements of performance (EP) for inpatient facilities.
