Fourth-year Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy students interested in completing a residency after they graduate in May found out on March 19 where they would spend the next stage of their training during the Pharmacy Residency Match Day.

A total of 5895 fourth-year pharmacy students from across the country applied for one-year postgraduate year (PGY-1) residency programs and 63.4% were successfully matched. A combined 37 students from all four TTUHSC School of Pharmacy campuses (55%) were successfully matched.  

“We are very proud and excited for the 37 students that matched to the PGY1 programs in 14 different states,” Steven Pass, Pharm.D., vice chair for residency programs and Dallas regional dean said. “We know they will represent the school well as they continue their pharmacy education and training in these post-graduate residency programs.”
