Program Philosophy

San Antonio State Hospital in conjunction with the University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy and the South Texas Veterans Health Care System is offering a PGY2 Psychiatric Pharmacy Residency with experienced clinical faculty. Our current accreditation status is pre-candidate; we will apply for candidate status once the residency year commences. San Antonio State Hospital (SASH) is a 13-unit, in-patient psychiatric hospital that is one of ten facilities in the Texas State Hospital System. SASH offers services to adults with severe and persistent mental illness, primarily schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression. These individuals are admitted on forensic, civil or voluntary commitments and come from a catchment area that extends over roughly 50 South Texas counties, most of which are medically underserved and struggle with high levels of poverty and substance use. Residents in The University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy Affiliated Programs are eligible for appointments as Instructors in Clinical Pharmacy with the College of Pharmacy.
