Pharmacy Residency Match Rate Outperformed National Average at 80%

Resident in pharmacy

Once again the pharmacy students of the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences (CPHS) have outperformed the national residency match rate. Campbell students matched for the PGY 1 residencies at a rate of 80 percent compared to the national rate of 64 percent.

Dr. Byron May, chair and professor of Pharmacy Practice, said, “After the completion of the Phase II American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) 2019 Residency Match, CPHS has a total of 36 PGY 1 and PGY 2 residency matches. When you combine the early commitment and match residencies, CPHS had another excellent residency match for 2018 and 2019 graduates seeking to continue their post-graduate education. Everyone in the Doctor of Pharmacy program is proud of the success our students continue to have in this very competitive residency environment.”

The ASHP Resident Matching Program includes postgraduate year one (PGY1), and postgraduate year two (PGY2), pharmacy residencies. 

“CPHS created the ideal environment to prepare me for an ambulatory care focused PGY1 residency,” said Sara Boltinhouse Jones, ’19 PharmD Candidate. “Throughout my time in pharmacy school I have had engaging professors who were willing to ensure my understanding of the material and multiple opportunities to serve as an officer and member in pharmacy organizations making an impact in the profession.

“I have an advisor who encouraged me to pursue a residency program that was most suited to me, an Office of Experiential Education that tailored my rotation schedule to my personal interest areas within the field of pharmacy, and preceptors who challenged me to apply the didactic training to real-life patients, while also offering guidance for my future career. I could not be more grateful for these experiences or excited about this next step in my pharmacy training.”

Campbell University pharmacy fourth-year students and graduates matched in 10 states including Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Kentucky, Nevada, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia. The majority will continue their training in North Carolina with 26 graduates matching in the Tar Heel State.

During the last five years, more than 200 CPHS fourth-year student pharmacists and alumni have matched with PGY1 or PGY2 residencies in 22 different states.
