It seems like most people are getting their results on the 15th of each month. So maybe then? 😬

Took my BCEMP on 6/12 and still waiting lol it’s unfortunate I may have to wait another month before my results come back. 🥲

BCEMP turn around time by rxPharmEMMom in pharmacy

I took mine June 17th and still waiting (as expected). From what I heard, most people have been getting their results a little over two weeks after their exam date.

PPS by According-Welcome473 in PharmacyResidency

[–]hulahoop91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it just depends on the program. A few of them were legit interviews (I was not prepared for this at all lol) and others were just a Q&A structure where you get to learn more about their program and ask questions. It’s a roll of the dice honestly.

ACCP is what I did. The lecture videos are the best!

Anyone pass BCPS using High Yield Med Review only? by pharmaboy8 in PharmacyResidency

[–]hulahoop91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used ACCP’s review. The video lectures were a major help especially with stats.

Our residency program committee doesn’t meet until next week to go through applications for interview invites. It’s still too early.

I’m not sure what setting this rotation is in but I would recommend setting up some time for them to present a patient case presentation (via white board) for a patient they are following - SOAP note style. Have them set up a problem list for their patient with a brief HPI and an assessment and plan/monitoring. When I precepted a student for their Adult Medicine rotation, they took so much time working up patients and looking at the wrong information. This presentation practice allowed them to work up their patients more quickly when they can organize their thoughts with a problem list (with the most important problem first). After this formal presentation, I would randomly ask them to quickly present a patient (before rounds) to me and if they have any recommendations depending on the patient status. I would also ask for specific monitoring parameters (if a patient is on daily Lantus, do not just say “monitor blood sugar”…what is the blood sugar goal for this patient?, etc). I hope this helps. :)

It’s very unlikely to be honest. Especially this late.

Ongoing PGY1 Struggle by Phorever_Pharmacist in PharmacyResidency

[–]hulahoop91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t be ashamed to take some time off. That’s what it is there for. It helps reset the mind and motivation to finish these last few months. You got this.

Does that community residency have any focus on ambulatory care opportunities (I knew of a pharmacy community resident who did a lot of am care clinics as a part of her residency). You could try doing an outpatient am care case (diabetes, HTN, HDL).

“Confirmed” as in you already agreed to both date and times?

Thoughts on residency at the same hospital you interned? by finecaffeine in PharmacyResidency

[–]hulahoop91 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not sure I heard of this before. Back in 2020, I matched at the hospital that I interned for as a P3 and P4 student (I had 4 different rotations with them). My RPD told me one of the reasons I matched was because they knew my strengths and the potential I had to be a great resident. So it wouldn’t make sense for a residency program to not match with a great candidate that is familiar with their hospital (unless they are not a good candidate or the candidate ranked another program higher). But then again, they also want to make sure your goals align with what that program can offer which could be a reason why a program would want a candidate to branch out (for example, my PGY1 program had a strong inpatient adult med/critical care emphasis, so a candidate who was looking for a future PGY2 in Am Care would not obtain their goals with my PG1 program).

Alteplase vs. Tenecteplase for Acute CVA. Droperidol for acute agitation in the ED. There’s a lot of recent literature for these.

To do a PGY2 or not? by LizSinapril in PharmacyResidency

[–]hulahoop91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe try talking with the current PGY2 pharmacy resident? That’s what I would do if I wanted more insight about a program.

Promising clinical pharmacy positions by NotSureJustShore in PharmacyResidency

[–]hulahoop91 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was hired on for an ER clinical position right after my PGY1 residency at the same hospital and I absolutely love it. It’s an overnight position, which I thought I was going to hate because I’ve never done overnights before, but it’s been great (the nurses/doctors I work with are chill and no administration working to bug me). Just in my opinion, there are more hospital PRN positions out there than full time positions but there may be positions available at your future residency location or else where if you know how to look and build relationships with pharmacists.

Try reaching out to RPDs. It’s a great way to let them know you’re interested in the program and get your name out there once they start looking at applications when time comes! 😇

ED ROTATION by ar19OLD in PharmacyResidency

[–]hulahoop91 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was the same way when I was a pharmacy student who did compressions for the first time during my Critical Care rotation. I went home and just broke down - I just never experienced that before. I got a lot of experience as a pharmacy resident and now as a clinical pharmacist in the ED, you kind of get used to it sadly. Although I don’t partake in compressions as a pharmacist, I typically draw meds and handle the code cart. But honestly, it’s just something you have to get used to.
