Pharm.D. students from the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy maintained the No. 1 American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) PGY1 residency match rate among schools of pharmacy in the U.S. with 50 or more students matching with a residency program.
This year after the second round of matching held in April, the School had a 90% match rate for PGY1 and a 91% rate for PGY2.
“This is such an exciting time for our students as they prepare for new learning opportunities following graduation,” said Angela Kashuba, dean of the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy. “We are so proud of all of our students and we look forward to continuing to work with each and every student pursuing additional residency opportunities, postdoctoral fellowships and employment prospects.”
Following the first round of the match process, 80 percent of students from the School who submitted applications matched with a residency program, according to statistics from the ASHP. This places the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy more than 20 percent higher than the national first round match average. 27 Pharm.D. students matched with residency programs in North Carolina, and 18 other states are represented among the programs where students matched.
