Catalog

The goal of this course is to prepare students to succeed in the PGY1 pharmacy residency recruitment process. Success not only includes obtaining a position through the residency match, but also understanding the responsibilities, expectations, benefits, and drawbacks of residency life, identifying characteristics of a strong residency candidate, determining whether a residency is the right choice for you, and finding a residency that will enable you to meet your personal goals. Students in this course will meet with residents, preceptors, and program directors, reflect on their strengths and weaknesses, prepare professional correspondence, participate in mock interviews, and make a plan for success in the residency recruitment process following the course.
