Pharmacy Residency: Reality vs. Expectations 💊

Originally posted here:

Ever wonder what a pharmacy residency is like?

No lie. Deciding if a pharmacy residency is worth it ain’t easy. You’re literally potentially sacrificing +100K for further training.

Will there be a job for me after? How do I get one? What is the time commitment like? Will I be “sacrificing my life” just for residency?

Today I have Dr. Janice Burgos, a current PGY-1 resident. She’ll be talking about her experience with residency, tips, and general life advice to see if it’s for you.
