Pharmacy Residency Central

Over the years, I have written many blog posts centered around pharmacy residency and wanted to put them all in one place. I cover multiple topics around the initial search, things to consider in a residency, narrowing down your list, letters of recommendation, applying, a check-list of things to do, CV help, interview help, and even blogs for CURRENT residents on how to stay organized

I would recommend bookmarking this page for easy access to all my residency tips in one Spot! I hope it's helpful for all those interested in pharmacy residencies and current pharmacy residents. For more, check out my resources on the Shop page, or head to Instagram for guides, and the IG highlights when I did my residency!

Wholesome Holiday Season 🎁🎄✨ #byeDecember Wholesome Holiday Season 🎁🎄✨ #byeDecember
EOY work things 💼🎄this year was really great EOY work things 💼🎄this year was really great (& busy) and I’m so thankful for it! I learned a ton, got more involved in my team and the company, started on new work streams, met more people in my department and outside of the department, navigated changes and challenges, I mentored someone more senior than myself and learned from those more senior than myself, traveled overseas for a conference, overcame doubts and fears with God and learned to do my job more effectively. Can’t believe I’m almost at the two year mark here. God has been so good and faithful, His timing for my life (and yours!) is the most perfect timing - He hears, He responds, He comforts, He guides & is truly everything. Each season of my life (and yours!) prepares us for what is to come, so continue to lean in and learn wherever you are in life 🤍

Right now, I’m enjoying my time off + company shutdown to end the year rested & with a full heart 🥹 and I hope whatever your break look likes that you find rest, gratitude, and enjoyment in that as well.
For the happy heart, life is a continual feast Pro For the happy heart, life is a continual feast Proverbs 15:15 🤍 ☀️🍁#photodump 📸
It’a all Sunshine & Rainbows (+ Waterfalls) 🌤 It’a all Sunshine & Rainbows (+ Waterfalls) 🌤️🌈🇨🇦

Full on tourist mode at Niagara Falls to spend quality time with family. Fun fact, it’s the fastest moving waterfall in the world 🌎

It was a perfect trip for a long weekend 🤍
Stayed 🛌: Road-tripped to Niagara & stayed On the Canada side
Food 🥘: @swaagat_niagarafalls (so so good!) and @anticaniagara 

Things to Do 📝: 
Boat ride into the falls with @niagaracruises (the “hornblower”)
Guided tour of the Niagara Parks Power Station + Tunnel (would skip if not super interested in the mechanics behind everything, but the views from the tunnel is very worth it). 
Went to the top of the @skylon_tower for amazing views. 
Fireworks right by the Falls are every night at 10pm from May-October. 
Clifton Hills Entertainment District. 
Niagara on the Lake. 
Relax at Queen Victoria Park (also a great view of the fireworks). 
Of course take in the beauty of the Falls. 
Stopped in Toronto. 

Transportation 🚗:
Niagara is very walkable by the main tourist spots! Mostly walked on foot, took an Uber a couple times, and used the Falls incline railway/funicular once. Parking at the hotel was ridiculously expensive, so we found a nearby parking garage.

I’ve really been enjoying my role & where I am i I’ve really been enjoying my role & where I am in my career and I think a lot of it has to with my mindset shift towards careers/work over the years. This role not only challenges me but also leans into some of my natural skills and abilities. I’m sooo so grateful to be a PharmD which has given me so many options + opportunities. While this page is largely focused on career/professional life, it’s important to point out that jobs come & go, careers fade, but the glory of God is what remains. May we remember to FIX our eyes on things eternal and not earthy, temporal things: “But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment. For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either” 1 Timothy‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬-‭7‬. “Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value] ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭2‬ 

Stay your post 🤍
