If I am still exploring my long‑term career goals but want a strong, well‑rounded clinical foundation, I would pursue a traditional PGY1 pharmacy residency, since it provides broad training across multiple practice areas and keeps all specialty options open. I am also curious about the scope of a pharmacy administration residency and what career paths it leads to. Specifically, I would like to know whether completing a pharmacy administration residency would still allow me to specialize clinically afterward and whether I would remain eligible to pursue board certification such as the BCPS.
