Learn from experts in the field of clinical pharmacy about the steps you can take now to rise above the competition when applying for a residency. Discover how you can establish and grow a professional network that will make you an attractive residency candidate. Then learn how you can obtain the right residency for you by assessing “fit”. Finally, discover the rules for the letter of intent, an important piece of the residency application. Find out how the letter of intent can engage the reader and help applicants rise above other residency candidates. You will also have the opportunity to participate in a special roundtable session facilitated by current pharmacy residents and fellows. Sit down with these clinicians to ask questions and acquire their perspectives on everything from applying and interviewing for residencies to excelling within the daily demands of residency.
