AB The  types  and  numbers  of  postgraduate  training  options  available  to  you  are  seemingly  endless.  Yet,  the  reasons  for  you  to  delay  entry  into  the  job  market  may  not  be  quite  as  numerous.  You've  probably  had  a  hard  enough  time  describing  why  it  takes  4  years  in  pharmacy  school,  much  less  the  education  you  had  before  that,  to  become  a  pharmacist.  And  now,  you  want,  need,  or  are  compelled  to  do  more?  Know  that  thousands  of  pharmacy  students  and  even  existing  practitioners  have  worked  through  this  debate  before  you,  and  the  debate  may  rage  long  after  you  graduate.  Yet,  there  are  compelling  reasons  to  invest  more  in  your  own  career  beyond  your  PharmD  degree.  We  went  to  the  source,  the  rich  source  of  information  that  is  our  Postgraduate  Year  One  (PGY-1)  and  Postgraduate  Year  Two  (PGY-2)  pharmacy  residents,  who  provided  some  data  for  this  chapter.  Was  it  a  formal  study?  No.  However,  mixing  their  thoughts  with  ours  provides  a  well-rounded  rationale  for  postgraduate  training.
