Pharmacy students find residency matches
On March 20, fourth-year TTUHSC pharmacy students interested in completing a residency
after graduation found out where they would spend the next 1-2 years of their training
at Phase I of Residency Match Day.
Nationwide, there were 5,236 applicants for PGY-1 programs and 3,361 (64.2 percent) were successfully matched. A combined 36 students from all four School of Pharmacy campuses sought residencies during Phase I, and 23 (64 percent) were successfully matched. Those who did not match in Phase I will go into the Phase II of the match process in April.
Winter Smith, Pharm.D., vice chair for residency programs, thanked all faculty and staff for helping the students navigate the residency placement process.
“We had a successful day, but there is still more work to be done,” Smith added. “We are working with all of the P4 students planning to participate in Phase II to help them reach their goals of residency training.”
