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.

An entire chapter focuses on pharmaceutical industry fellowships, which provide a great opportunity for pharmacists interested in clinical development, regulatory affairs, marketing, or research. KEY FEATURES: Ten chapters that coach you through identifying the right program, submitting airtight application materials, and taking part in showcases, interviews, the Match, and the Scramble. Sample CVs, letters of intent, and emails, as well as questions to ask and answer in residency interviews. A comprehensive chapter on pharmaceutical industry fellowships, with insights into top areas of focus. A final chapter on things to do after you're accepted into a residency so you start on the right foot.
