It is a tough choice: secure a job after graduation or pursue additional training. The current, seemingly saturated job market and competitive residency environment is definitely making this decision more difficult. Many health-systems prefer, or even require, the hiring of a residency-trained pharmacist. For the first time in decades, many employers are cutting hours and even laying off pharmacists. So many soon-to-be graduate pharmacy students wonder if they should try to immediately accept a job offer or try for a residency position. We encourage you to consider a residency a wise investment in the future. And what is invested in that developmental, busy year will return 10-fold. It was an insightful resident who once informed me, “It's not just about what I will get out of a residency; but what I have to add … to contribute … to the program … that is what the year is about!” It will be an exciting, and sometimes, challenging time. Yet, there will be many great opportunities to develop and enhance pharmaceutical care, leadership, and organizational skills; collaborate with a multitude of healthcare professions; and take valuable steps toward advancing your career. This chapter will review key concepts of Postgraduate Year One (PGY-1) programs, including the differing types, educational design and evaluation, resident responsibilities, and opportunities during the year and beyond.
