Flip the Script on Your Interviews - Residency Series
01/23/22 • 34 min
Welcome to The Luxe Pharmacist Podcast - Residency Series!
I am so excited to be adding to the residency series today! The Luxe Pharmacist Podcast is adding another interview centered episode BUT this time we are discussing what questions YOU should be asking during an interview! Flipping the script (you asking questions to your interviewers) is so important to get the full picture on a residency program, new job or other opportunity you are interviewing for. After all an interview is a two way street so lets treat it as such!
The Luxe Pharmacist Podcast is thrilled to welcome our guest Shelby! Shelby graduated with her PharmD in May 2021 and is a current PGY-1 Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Resident. She is in the process of interviewing for PGY-2 Ambulatory Care programs. Shelby enjoys sharing her pharmacy journey with others on social media and provides advice for pharmacy school, clinical rotations, and the residency application process. You can find her on Instagram @shelbypharmd

My Journey to Residency & Match Story - Residency Series
Welcome to The Luxe Pharmacist Podcast - Residency Series!
I’m so excited to be adding to The Residency Series with these Match episodes at such a pivotal time of the year for those pursing residency.
If you don’t already know this about me, back in 2019 as a student I got the devastating news that I had not matched to a PGY1 residency in Phase I and thankfully I did end up matching to an incredible residency in Phase II.
Because of my experience I am on a mission to break the stigma of what it means to not match and hopefully give you all some really great insights and advice that you can apply to your personal pharmacy journey.
In honor of Phase I Match Day this week, I am releasing My Match Story episode that was originally published in March 2020! Stay tuned the rest of this week from more match stories from pharmacists of all different backgrounds, training and journeys!
