The Post-Graduate Pharmacist

This episode is all about our breakdown and opinions of the 2024 ASHP residency match statistics. Match statistics have stayed relatively the same from 2023 with little difference in number of applicants and match rate. This could mean good things! Your chance of matching to a program should stay relatively the same this year meaning an 80-90% chance to match to a program as long as you get an interview with one program. This is our last episode of the preparation podcast episode. We will continue to be the post-graduate pharmacist, but we are making the transition to a podcast for current graduates and current practicing post-graduate pharmacist. Stay tuned for updates and insights into our new series that we hope to release by the end of 2024. This episode's take-aways:Match rates have leveled off at around 82% match rates for those participating in the match.

In this episode we bring in the experts Brad Pierson, senior director at CareerPharm, and Jessie Hipple Rosario, student forum director at ASHP to talk about Personnel Placement Service (PPS) that occurs annually at the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting. PPS is essentially a massive job fair in which you can schedule one on one interviews with employers, except only those who sign up for PPS can get access. PPS is very popular with PGY1 residents seeking PGY2's or career positions, but it can also be beneficial for student pharmacists wanting select experiences. Questions we discuss on this episode:What is PPS? What can you expect at PPS?What are the benefits of PPS for a student pharmacist?What are the benefits of PPS for residents and graduates?How do you sign up for PPS and what can you expect?Who should sign-up for PPS?When can you sign-up?How does the PPS interface work and who can reach out to who about interviews?How should a candidate best prepare for PPS?Where can you find more information about PPS?This episode's take-aways:PPS condenses the travel and time it takes to interview at multiple places into one convenient location. The earlier you sign-up the more time you will have to prepare your materials that employers will seeStudents wanting a general PGY1 residency may not get much benefit out of PPS; however, it may be beneficial to residents wanting combined PGY1 & PGY2 programs, administrative programs, or industry fellowships to name a few. When scheduling interviews, give yourself at least 30 minutes between interviews to travel and prepare for the next interview.Do your research and prepare questions to ask the program you are interviewing at.

This episode is all about {}. Joining us is {}. Questions we discuss:What is a CV vs a resume?What goes into your CV?What are some ways to make your CV pop or give it some CV flare?What should the substance and focus of the CV be?This episode's take-aways:CV is much more than a resume. There is no page limit, and it's going to highlight your entire career when it comes to a certain profession. Your CV may only be 1 to 2 pages starting off, but it will expand. Your CV should be organized with clear transitions from one section to another. Section headers that stand out (bold, underlined) help people navigate your CV easily. Have your CV tell your story about your experience and education. Put things in reverse chronological order and label things, specifically dates, similarly throughoutNO COMPLETE SENTENCES! Avoid walls of text, you want this to be easily scanned and overall summarized. Don't go overboard with flare, but it is ok to add some color to make it stand out more. Consider having an online CV or online portfolio where you can show pictures or expand on elements in the CV. You can link the hard copy of the CV to the website with a QR code using a free QR code creator Check out some CV prep tips from ACCP and ASHPCheck out Episode 14, "Items to include on your CV" for more details on what to include and remove from the sections of your CV.What should you do now?Pull out your CV or resume and make the skeleton with the area's we talked about in the episodeSchedule some time every 3 months to update the CVCreate a to-do list of things to add to your CV and keep it What should you do later?Get others to review your CV, mentors, peers (peers you trust!)Continue to updateCreate plans for filling in gap areas Check out our website and sign-up to join the SASO (separate and stand out) squad.

Dr. Steuber and Dr. Smithgall talk about creating a time-line for post-graduate application. It's time to create your personalized time-line in this episode of our PGP Fundamentals Series.  In this episode we will review what to do leading up to your APPEs followed by what to do During APPEs.  Key take-aways about time-lines: It's never too early to start the application process The Fall is not too late to decide you want to do residency The earlier you start preparing, the less anxious you will be and the more prepared you will feel. Breaking it down into two separate segments: 1. Prior to your APPE year 2. During your APPE year Prior to your APPE year: This is when you should really be thinking about how to be a standout candidate and your short and long-term career goals and how you will achieve those. Think about post-graduate training as an option.  You don't have to settle on it now, just whether or not it's worth looking into.  If the answer is yes, then start going through the steps as if you were applying.  Most of the steps will benefit you in pursuing ANY career in pharmacy, so it's definitely not a waste of time. Let's break it down by year assuming you are in a 4 year program with year 1, 2, & 3, being the classroom experience and the forth year being APPE's.  Year 1:  First, take a moment and give yourself some credit for starting so early, and then take a deep breath, because there is absolutely nothing to stress about at this stage in your education.  This also goes for those who didn't even fathom Post-grad training at this stage.  This is your year to get involved in organizations and really focus on setting a foundation for your academics. Don't get overwhelmed with organizational involvement, pick 2-3 organizations to join, and try to get involved in at least 1 by helping plan an event, or applying for a low level leadership position.  Start trying to form relationships with your mentors, these can be assigned or unassigned.  Just take some time to talk to them, let them know how you are doing.  Year 2: If you're in more than 2 organizations, feel free to let one go so you can focus more in your top 2.  Try to get more involved, planning one or more events and applying for a leadership position.  Start making a plan with your mentors to get scholarship or research, ask them what they are working on and if you can help.  Don't let academics plummet, but at the same time the second year can sometimes be more difficult and it's ok to not perform as well as your first year.  Think about applying for a summer internship or working 1-2 weekends a month if your academics can handle it. Work experience is wonderful to have.  Year 3:  This is your last chance to really focus on leadership and service to an organization. If you don't have a research or scholarly project, try to establish one here.  You'll want to present a poster or or have something of substance from your work by this year or by Fall of your APPEs, 4th year.  Try to get a mock interview done with either career services or with one of your faculty.  It's been a long time since then.  Check out Episode 8 about completing Research as part of your post-graduate training pursuits. During your APPE year: SUMMER: Keep track of significant moments and jot them down to use later when thinking of answers to situational questions. Here's a source of some of the questions you may get on residency interviews. Start securing reference writers by asking "will you be willing to write me a positive letter of reference" during your end evaluation or sometime towards the end of the rotation. Don't be shy, ask them all, they should hopefully be honest and tell you if they would write you one. Evaluate programs: We recommend scheduling a re-occurring time, 1-2 hours a week and putting it on...

This episode is all about imposter syndrome and professional identity formation and how they can impact your pursuit of post-graduate training opportunities. Questions we discuss: What is imposter syndrome? Is it restricted to just student pharmacists What is professional identity, how does it relate to imposter syndrome? How can you identify if your imposter syndrome fears aren't actually true things? What are some strategies to build confidence and limit imposter syndrome? How can you develop and market your professional identity into your self-branding? What advice would you give pharmacy educators to support professional identity formation and curb or limit imposter syndrome? This episode's take-aways: 1. Imposter syndrome: feeling of inadequacy or doubting your capabilities. This feeling is not restricted to just students or residents. In fact, it is commonly felt by everyone, even those who are seasoned in their careers, especially when they have new experiences. This is an ongoing phenomenon you will encounter throughout your career. 2. Professional identity: thinking, feeling, and acting like a given profession (i.e. pharmacist). The “feeling” component of this can be difficult and can take a long time to develop the core values and behaviors of the profession. It takes a lot of time and experience to “feel” like a pharmacist. 3. Relationship between imposter syndrome and professional identity: not having fully developed a professional identity can lead to feelings of inadequacy (i.e. imposter syndrome). Professional identity formation goes through periods of growth, expansion, and reconstruction over the course of one's career which can lead to feelings of imposter syndrome during those changes. Normalizing these feelings and embracing these new, but sometimes uncomfortable, experiences is fundamental to overcoming them. 4. Strategies to overcome feelings of imposter syndrome: Normalize the feeling Be transparent and discuss it with mentors Share experiences with one another Reflect on experiences and think about what they mean to you in your career journey Lead with who you are,ow n it, and be unapologetic about it Recognize all the hard work and accomplishments you've had to get to where you currently are and be proud of it 5. Marketing your professional identity: think about your personal identity and how it makes you unique (your personal beliefs and values and why those are your beliefs and values) and how they overlap with your professional identity. These make you unique and can help you brand yourself. Consider communicating those with your potential employers either in your interview, through your letter of intent, etc. 6. Pharmacy educators' role in professional identity formation and curbing imposter syndrome: Recognize importance of relationships and mentorship – take the steps to initiate those relationships and build trust When providing feedback, frame it in a way that is not demeaning but meant to help them develop. Incorporate positive affirmations. Encourage students and learners to seek feedback and mentorship from multiple people to get unique perspectives Model the process of not knowing something, help them see you're still learning and growing in your own journey of professional identity formation and imposter syndrome. Consider new ways of sharing your story and your journey with learners Professional Identity paper discussed in today's episode:   Johnson JL, Arif S, Bloom TJ, Isaacs AN, Moseley LE, Janke KK.

39 This episode is all about required versus elective learning experiences (LE). This is an important piece of the program evaluation and many may be wondering how you differentiate one programs LE from another. In this episode we break down what is a required experience, an elective experience, a longitudinal experience, and other important questions. Questions we discuss: What are required and elective LE and are there any requirements by ASHP for these experiences. Does a LE have to be clinical? What's unique about longitudinal LE? What types of experiences would you expect for a general PGY1 program to have listed as required, elective, and longitudinal? What SHOULDN"T you ask residents and RPDs about required and elective rotations What SHOULD you ask residents and RPDs about required and elective rotations This episode's take-aways: Required LE: An experience you must complete in order to get a certificate of completion from the program. There is flexibility on when you complete these, but you will complete these by the end of the residency. Examples are Orientation and Internal Medicine. Elective LE: Experiences that are available to the residents, but do not need to be completed in order to complete the residency. Residents are typically given a number of elective experiences they can choose from (2-4 on average). Examples are Transplant, Oncology, Infectious disease. Longitudinal LE: Typically a day or so a week stretched across a 3-12 month window. A good example of this is your medicine safety rotation, or your major resident project (research or quality improvement project). Don't ask what rotations do programs offer when it's clearly listed on their ASHP Directory program description or on their website. What should you do now? Start evaluating programs and comparing rotation listings Think about what rotations are important to you and what type of experiences are must have's and must not have's. What should you do later? Prepare some questions for residents and RPDs based on our discussion of what you should and shouldn't ask   Check out our https://www.postgraduatepharmacist.com/ (website) and sign-up to join the SASO (separate and stand out) squad.

We begin our series on fellowships discussing the fundamental differences between residencies and fellowships, introduce the basic types of fellowships, requirements of a fellowship and what you should do now if you are potentially interested in a fellowship. Fellowships are highly individualized postgraduate programs that are designed to prepare the fellow to become an independent researcher. Thus, the majority of time spent during training is honing these research skills versus patient care skills that are more typical of a residency. Key Take-Aways: Fellowships may be 12-months long, but often are 2 or even 3 years of training. Some fellowships will require residency training prior to entrance in the program as a pre-requisite, but some may not have a pre-requisite and may be completed right out of pharmacy school depending on the type of fellowship (industry vs academic) Fellowships are highly variable and all offer very unique experiences, so it is important to do your due diligence up front to research the pre-requisites, activities, and outcomes for each individual fellowship Check out our https://www.postgraduatepharmacist.com/ (website) where you can search our episodes, blog, merchandise, and ways to join the SASO squad.

We invite Megan Smith, a faculty member and residency program director for one of the largest community pharmacy residencies in the united states, https://pharmacy.uams.edu/residency/ (the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Pharmacy PGY1 Community Pharmacy Residency), BACK for another episode to discuss the biggest questions surrounding community pharmacy residencies. Community pharmacy residencies can be a spring board for multiple different career paths. One of those paths may involve more research and a fellowship is a perfect way to expand your research and scholarship skills to the next level. Another way may be specialized clinical training in a PGY2 program. In this episode, we explore one of the ways you can get into a specialized training and why you may consider pursing specialized training after PGY1 community-based pharmacy residency. Questions we ask: In your opinion, how common is it for PGY1 community pharmacy residents to go into community residency for the purpose of further training Are there types of PGY2 training, or other post-graduate experiences that graduates are more qualified for? Like-wise, are there specialties that are closed, or unavailable to PGY1 graduates, outside of obvious ones like critical care.  If I was a candidate, what advice would you give me while pursing or actively completing a PGY1 if that's what I wanted to do (i.e. fellowship)? Are there certain fellowships or fellowship structures that compliment PGy1 community pharmacy resident graduates? Key Take-Aways: Think about what the NEXT BEST STEP is for you. You may not know where you want to end up, but based on what you like, determine what the next best step is and pursue that. Eventually you'll wind up where you need to be. Completing a community-based PGY1 residency means you are eligible for any PGY2 program. The most common program pursued is an ambulatory care PGY2. Even though you are eligible for PGY2s in things like Critical Care and Emergency Medicine, it may be difficult to show the expertise needed to be successful in those types of programs. The easiest thing to do if you are interested in additional training is to just go ahead an apply. There is a lot of imposter syndrome and candidates thinking they are not qualified enough when in fact they are.

This episode looks at how to be a stand-out community pharmacy resident candidate. We are joined by Nataša Živak, a clinical pharmacist and residency program coordinator/residency director of The Centers for Families and Children's Community-Based PGY1 Pharmacy Residency. Questions we discuss: Are there specific things that a standout to programs when evaluating PGY1 community-based candidates? What sort of leadership experience do you value in candidates? Does business experience help, for example having an MBA or experience as an entrepreneur? We learned in our first episode that a lot of graduates go on to create new positions. If you were like this, where you knew you wanted to do a community residency, and you had a broad idea of where you wanted to be in 5/10 years and knew this was the right choice to get you there, BUT you did not have specifics to exactly what you would walk out of residency doing, is there a way to explain that in your Letter of Intent? What are some soft skills (example being self-awareness, communication, emotional intelligence) that are important to have in a candidate? Key Take-aways: Community volunteer experience can be very beneficial for your CV and application If you are unsure what you plan to do after community residency then try to tailor your materials to the patient population you want to work with or are passionate about. Time management and working with others well is necessary, especially in larger programs where your face-to-face time with the residency program director is not on a daily basis.

This episode explores a unique type of community-based pharmacy residency with a focus on psychiatric care. We are joined by Nataša Živak, a clinical pharmacist and residency program coordinator/residency director of The Centers for Families and Children's Community-Based PGY1 Pharmacy Residency. Questions we discuss: What does a non-retail pharmacy community-based residency program look like? What learning experiences are available in a non-retail community residency? What does an ideal candidate look like for a focused community-based pharmacy residency? What are some of the careers residents pursue after community-based pharmacy residency? Where do you see community-based pharmacy residency going in the next 5 years? This episode's take-aways: You don't have to have done experiences as a student that match directly to the program you are applying for. Showing a passion for the area of patient care is one of the most important things and if you know the program well you can align that passion. Each program is going to have their secret sauce of what they are looking for. It's not always easy to tell, but looking at their patient population and specialties can help narrow in on what that is. Examples from this episode include underserved patients and demonstration of community service. Saying you want to do something is not the same as showing it. Have examples from your life and experience the demonstrate a passion for unique areas of patient care like underserved communities or psychiatric care. Community-based pharmacy residencies can open a lot of doors for future career paths! What should you do now? Try some community outreach and volunteer work Highlight that you are passionate about your community and making a difference, especially as a pharmacist. Start researching different types of community pharmacy residencies What should you do later?  If you feel community-based pharmacy residency may be right for you, you should highly consider applying.

We invite Megan Smith, a faculty member and residency program director for one of the largest community pharmacy residencies in the united states, https://pharmacy.uams.edu/residency/ (the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Pharmacy PGY1 Community Pharmacy Residency), to discuss the biggest questions surrounding community pharmacy residencies. Community pharmacy residencies can either be accredited or unaccredited. We focus mainly on accredited programs in this episode. When a community pharmacy residency is accredited, it is jointly accredited by ASHP and APhA. If you feel like you still need that structure and group of people pushing you to advance your skills, then community pharmacy PGY1 can provide that for you. Key Take-Aways: Like pharmacy practice PGY1's, community pharmacy residencies also pack 3-5 years of clinical experience into one year Completing an accredited PGY1 community pharmacy residency makes you eligible for any PGY2 residency. Being eligible is not the same as being qualified, you may struggle going from community residency to a critical care PGY2, but there are still lots of PGY2's that you can explore, the most popular being ambulatory care. Community pharmacy residencies are a great way to hone your skills and set yourself up for leadership positions or other specialized training Each community pharmacy residency is designed differently, so be sure to research each one thoroughly to see what type of experiences you get. Programs can be single site, multi-site, hospital based, specialty based, have ambulatory care components, different administration components, and much much more! If you are interested in academia, community pharmacy residencies get you in front of students and in the classroom quickly when they are associated with a college of pharmacy. Community Pharmacy PGY1's will still have a staffing component. This is going to be different based on the program, but generally it will be about 1 day a week and even though you are staffing you are still advancing your skills that you are learning outside of the staffing component.

In this bonus episode we break down available positions left in the 2022 Post-Phase II Process or as it is traditionally called, the Scramble. Check out a list of programs here: https://natmatch.com/ashprmp/ Don't hesitate to reach out some non-Pharmacotherapy programs as these are still accredited and can get you a PGY2 specialty position next year.

Hosts Taylor and Sean give tips on how to successfully start off your Advance Pharmacy Practice Rotations (APPE's). Key Points: Send an email 2 weeks prior to the start date to ask about expectations, where to go, what to bring, what to do before you start. Consider asking about research or medication use evaluation opportunities that are extra and available Arrive 15 minutes early, the last thing you want is to show up late day one. Study up on some brand generics for your setting or practice site. Try to learn some medical jargon so you can know what's going on. Bring something to write with, stay engaged throughout the first day, ask questions at appropriate times. If you do not have an orientation, that does not mean there are not expectations for how you do the first day.

This week on the Post-Graduate Pharmacist hear from us as we discuss the age-old question, “I matched, now what?” This episode's take-aways: 1. Start thinking about finances during your residency year. You have invested a lot of time and money to be where you are today, so you want to make sure you are prepared for your residency year. Check out Episode #2 in our series where we discuss financial implications of doing a residency with Dr. Des Lindquist. 2. Take the time now and enjoy and appreciate your accomplishments and hard work that have paid have. Use this time to rest and recharge. 3. Start to think about whenyou will take or try to schedule your NAPLEX and MPJE. Obviously scheduling the test depends on your graduation date and is a on a first come first serve basis, but you might have a little flexibility of when you take those examinations. If scheduling allows, consider taking your NAPLEX two weeks prior to your MPJE. If you can take both tests before residency starts, that might be ideal. Discuss with your RPD and current/past residents. 4. Should you “study” forresidency before starting? We don't think so. By studying for the NAPLEX, you should be preparing for residency. Plus, you never know which rotation you'll be starting with. 5. Wait to buy a new white coat until starting residency or until instructed by your RPD. Sometimes you'll be provided one or you'll have specific instructions on what to buy. 6. Since it is so important, we say it again, use this time to REST and RECHARGE! Congratulations again and best of luck!

We're back from our break with a complete breakdown of the ASHP Match and a look at last years statistics. What is your chance of successfully matching with a program? What are your chances to get your first or second ranked program? We discuss all this and more. Check our our new Website at postgraduatepharmacist.com and also check our our new line of merchandise at our https://postgraduatepharmacist.launchcart.store/shop (merch store). You can also support us by https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thepostgrad (buying us a cup of coffee) by clicking the coffee cup on our website. We love brining you content and want to continue bringing you up-to-date, insider information so you can Separate and Stand Out in this competitive environment. This episode's take-aways: Match results this year is on a Wednesday, March 16th which gives you more time to prepare for Phase II There's no deadline for submitting Phase II rankings, so get those in AS SOON AS the opening on March 21st 9:00 a.m. eastern time. About 63% of people who submit rankings get matched and of those 80% are matched to their first and second choice. Match rate goes down significantly in Phase II with the post-phase II match (or scramble) having few if any programs available. What should you do now? Look at the https://natmatch.com/ashprmp/schedule.html (dates:) March 4th, Rank order lists due March 16th, Match results, SET THAT ALARM FOR 8:00 AM EST. At noon they'll release the Phase II unmatched positions March 21st, Submit applications at 9:00 AM EST April 6th, Submit rankings April 13th, Phase II match results After this it's every person for themselves! No rules for the remaining programs, can be offered at anytime. Think about what you want to do if you are unsuccessful. Re-visit those short and long term career goals. Talk to loved ones and significant others. If you felt uneasy about interviews then start looking at other career options, talk to your mentors. Message us with questions! What should you do later? If you don't match, put all those dates on your calendar so you know what to expect. Plan out how you will address writing new letter of intents and everything needed for Phase II. What are your chances of Matching? Check out the https://natmatch.com/ashprmp/stats.html (Match Stats) 7525 applicants in 2021 only 5895 submitted rankings of which 3741 matched. That's 63% of those who ranked, but 50% of those total (people who dropped out or didn't get interviews.) 57% get their first choice program 23 % get their second choice, 80% get their first or second choice 282 positions were not matched in phase 1 Only 7% of applicants did not rank a program when that program ranked them Our advice is if you don't feel good about the program, don't rank it, because chances are they didn't rank you or it would be so far down your list you probably wouldn't rank with them anyway.

This week on the Post-Graduate Pharmacist we highlight what to look for when putting together your PhORCAS application.  We've done this multiple times ourselves and have written numerous reference applications through PhORCAS.  Get the necessary tips to succeed.  This episode's take-aways: Fill out AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE in the Extracurricular section.  Do you need to put EVERYTHING from your CV?  YES, everything!!!  Some people prefer to look at this over your CV.  It's also the first thing they see.

Why in-person may be a better idea than virtual Allows you to see future practice sites and new cities Meet more people Allows you and the interviewers to get a better feel for each other Should candidates stick to one interview type over the other? Do what's best for you if presented with the option Depends on program Do what best fits your schedule Should the cost of traveling be a consideration? Cost should be considered when applying Virtual residency fairs may allow you to make a decision sooner by being able to ask questions Apply to wherever you see yourself liking most Don't limit your opportunities Tips for virtual interviews Try and convey who you are Ask strong questions and be able to answer their questions Consider an appropriate, simple background Dress as if in person Check surroundings Take notes Practice!

This week we are joined by Madeline Belk, who is finishing her PGY2 in infectious diseases at Huntsville Hospital. We discuss how to build a presence on social media and use it to help build your brand when applying to post-graduate training positions. We cover the do's and don'ts of social media from a professional standpoint. The social media account you choose to use and how you use it is completely up to you.  You can choose to be both personal and professional, or select specific social media accounts to be more personal vs more professional on.  Don't try to do too much at once, spend a few months getting really good at one social media platform before moving on to the next.  Tips for building your profile: 1.    Select a username that's simple and professional if using for learning or networking 2.    For your avatar or profile picture, use one of your face that is clear and that is trustworthy, likeable, and asymmetrical 3.    For your bio, include your location, city and state and where you work or train and what you are interested in.  4.    Be more effective, share photo's or screen shots or even just an emoji to be more visual. 5.    Tag other accounts when possible.  6.    Identify hashtags and join the conversation If you need help posting, try an OTILT, which stand for ONE THING I LEARNED TODAY.  *Follow Madeline Belk on Twitter @MadelineBelk  *Social Media primer for pharmacists article: https://doi.org/10.1002/jac5.1120 (https://doi.org/10.1002/jac5.1120) (Dixon DL, Reed BN. tweet or not to tweet?

We just attended Podcast Movement 2021 in Nashville so we could bring you better content. We have learned so much in such a short amount of time. One of the things we learned was that we need to bring you the most beneficial content in the most concise way possible. This means we may need to modify how we currently do our podcast. Before we make any major changes, we want to hear from you, our listeners, on what you think should be changed. We also need your help on what we can talk about in the future so you are most prepared for the post-graduate training application process. Give us your feedback https://forms.gle/Sb2BwDu32a7Wnk7b8 (here) so we can make those changes. Feedback link: https://forms.gle/Sb2BwDu32a7Wnk7b8 (https://forms.gle/Sb2BwDu32a7Wnk7b8)
