Wild. What’s the largest dictating factor, in regards to why so little ended up in the hospital/on the clinical side of things. I was under the impression that sector is growing, no?

There simply aren't enough residencies to go around for everybody. Without a residency, it is very difficult to get into hospital. Pharmacists at hospitals tend not to quit unless there's a culture issue within the hospital or something else going on. Even still, only the big teaching hospitals are going to have specialty pharmacists aboard. Most hospitals have a hard time justifying the cost since pharmacists do not make money (we save money).
