AB So  you  are  thinking  about  a  residency.  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.
