My wife and I matched in the old scramble (which is now more organized as Phase II) but 15 years later she is in an ambulatory care clinical position and I have been teaching in college for that same time, both jobs we love. In this episode, I talk about the importance of mentors and how those residencies available in the scramble can lead to an excellent career that is very work/life balance excellent as well.  Need help preparing for the NAPLEX, check out my online self paced pharmacology course here  https://residency.teachable.com/p/mobile  

Ep 564 Residency Scramble and Residency Mentors

Phase II is about speed. With over 700 unfilled PGY 1 positions and only a few hundred more than that who will put in applications, you do have a very good chance in Phase II. If you want my one-on-one help go to https://residency.teachable.com/p/phase2 My turnaround is around 24 hours.  The data show that you should have a better than 50% chance of matching in Phase II this  year with the number of available positions, even better if you are looking for a community pharmacy position.  Have questions, email me at tonythepharmacist@gmail.com 

Ep 564 How do I Match in Phase II of the Pharmacy Residency Match?

The odds of matching to residency are very dependent on the school of pharmacy you are going to, while the top schools match above 90%, the lowest schools match at 20%, so it's still a good idea to start job hunting before the match because there are hundreds of pharmacists getting the news on the exact same day.  If you need my help in Phase II, you can find my website here, I expect there will be close to 700 open positions after Phase I.   https://residency.teachable.com/ Good luck! 

Ep 563 What are my odds of matching to my pharmacy residency after my interview

The biggest residency interview mistake is not focusing on being positively remembered as there are many applicants, and standing out takes the 5 Ps:  People PGY-2 Professionalism Purpose Practice.  With those in your tool belt, you can continue the conversation after the interview to ensure you are not forgotten. Need my help, check out https://residency.teachable.com/p/interview   

Ep 564 Biggest Residency Interview Mistake

It's exciting and stress-relieving when that first interview offer comes in, but do you know what to do? In this episode, I've gone over the first steps and you can check out the course I have to see if it's something that you want help with your presentation PowerPoint and need email support. Sometimes you just don't want to ask your professors questions. Anyway, you can find the free Case Study document and link to the course here:  https://residency.teachable.com/
