The College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences continues to match student pharmacists seeking residency training at a rate above the national average. Eighty-one and a half percent of students and alumni from Campbell University’s pharmacy program successfully matched with residencies in 2018. This rate compares favorably to the national match rate of 65 percent.
The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Resident Matching Program includes postgraduate year one (PGY1), and postgraduate year two (PGY2), pharmacy residencies. Campbell’s 32 residency matches include 22 fourth-year students matching with a PGY1 residency and 10 alumni matching with a PGY2 residency. In addition, one 2018 graduate will complete a Fellowship Program at Roivant Sciences in their Clinical Pharmacology Department located in Durham, NC.
“Over the years, as the competition for residencies has increased, Campbell student pharmacists have beaten the national rate for match percentage,” said Byron May, PharmD, chair of pharmacy practice. “This year’s 81.5-percent match rate is one of the highest in the country for pharmacy schools and is a reflection of the quality of the students seeking post-graduate training. Working with our outstanding faculty who prepare them for their careers after graduation, Campbell University pharmacy graduates are seeking out high quality PGY1 and PGY2 residency programs and are having great success. I congratulate all our students for their accomplishments and thank our faculty for their commitment.”
Campbell pharmacy fourth-year students and graduates matched in nine different states including Florida, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and Virginia. The majority will continue their training in North Carolina with 23 graduates matching in the Tar Heel State.
“My time at Campbell not only provided me with a solid foundational knowledge base, but prepared me to become a passionate, confident, and well-rounded practitioner,” said Ashlee Baucom, PharmD, and current PGY1 Pharmacy Resident at Vidant Medical Center. “In addition, the faculty and staff at Campbell have continued to serve as mentors throughout my PGY1 year. The support and friendship offered by these mentors within the Campbell family means the world to me.”
More than 4,830 pharmacy residency positions were available for the 2018 ASHP residency match. Over the last five years, more than 190 fourth-year student pharmacists and alumni have matched with PGY1 or PGY2 residencies in 22 different states.
