Triumph without the Hype: Redefining Recruitment
In this episode, we spotlight the journeys of three recent pharmacy school graduates who successfully secured post-graduate training opportunities, such as residencies and fellowships, without attending the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Midyear Clinical Meeting. Midyear has historically served as the peak pharmacy recruitment event and is often viewed as essential for securing post-graduate positions. While Midyear remains a valuable and respected event in pharmacy training, not every student can attend due to financial, geographic, or personal barriers.
Our guests share their honest experiences navigating the recruitment process through alternative pathways, proving that meaningful opportunities are still within reach. They discuss the strategies that helped them stand out, the networks and mentors who supported them, and the moments of resilience that shaped their professional paths.
This conversation also explores broader questions of equity and access in pharmacy training. How the field can reimagine recruitment to better support students who face systemic and financial constraints. The episode offers practical guidance, encouragement, and inspiration for pharmacy students forging their own way and for pharmacists committed to advancing inclusive professional development.
Whether you’re preparing to secure post-graduate opportunities, mentoring the next generation, or investing in equity in pharmacy education, this episode reminds us that success is not defined by a single event. There are many ways to rise. Learn more about PharmGradWishlist at https://linktr.ee/pharmgradwishlist and read more about the host and guests below:
