Description
A pharmacy residency-whether in hospitals, managed care, community pharmacy, or other settings-helps you build specialized skills that are highly valued in today's health care environment. In the past 20 years, the number of pharmacy residency programs has multiplied tenfold, and at the same time competition for residency slots is growing more intense. Getting Started in a Pharmacy Residency walks you through key steps in the residency acquisition process, including connecting with program representatives, creating application materials, taking part in the Match, and positioning yourself so you stand out from the crowd. Written in a readable style and packed with useful tips, Getting Started in a Pharmacy Residency includes advice and anecdotes from past residents, sample CVs, helpful interview questions, checklists, and timelines. An entire chapter focuses on pharmaceutical industry fellowships, which provide a great opportunity for pharmacists interested in clinical development, regulatory affairs, marketing, or research.
