Emerge from the Crowd: How to Become a Standout Residency Candidate

ATTENTION PHARMACY FACULTY, PRECEPTORS AND ADVISORS

Want to Help Students Start Thinking About Applying for Residency Earlier than the P4 Year?

You probably know that of the 3706 PGY1 applicants who participated in the ASHP Resident Matching Program in 2012, about 39% did not match with a program.¹ As competition among residency applicants continues to grow, it is important that students know what type of candidates residency programs look for and the steps they can take now to distinguish themselves from the crowd.

This April, ACCP is conducting an informative and interactive program titled “Emerge from the Crowd: How to Become a Standout Residency Candidate.” This unique program is designed to help first-, second-, and third-year pharmacy students maximize their ability to secure a residency position upon graduation.

Students attending this exciting new program will receive more than 10 hours of interactive programming over 2 days. The program will begin on Saturday, April 20, and conclude on Sunday, April 21, during ACCP’s spring meeting, Updates in Therapeutics^® 2013, at the Peppermill Resort in Reno, Nevada.

Students will learn from experts in the field of clinical pharmacy about the steps that they can take now to rise above the competition when applying for a residency during their final academic year. Topics include maximizing classroom and experiential education opportunities, gaining valuable work experience, professional networking, engaging in scholarly activity, CV writing, interviewing successfully, and navigating the residency application process. Attendees will also have the opportunity to sit down face-to-face with current residents and residency program directors to learn from their perspectives and advice during a special roundtable session.
