Very informative!!! As I have already committed myself in pursuing a residency, but these are all things that I will take into consideration if/when I get the opportunity to complete a PGY1.
I keep hearing that I must be very involved in school organizations or have a job while a student before I can get into a residency program. Is this true?
Agree with Rebecca below - not necessary, but would set you apart. Getting invited for an interview is typically based on a checklist +/- some feedback from residents, preceptors, & RPDs. Those with the highest points based on certain factors (e.g. involvement in school organizations, work experience), unique to each program, typically are the ones that get invited. Personally, I had two internships and a lot of school involvement and still didn't match for a PGY-1. Again, not necessary and certainly not the end all be all as illustrated with my example. Good luck!
Hey Onalo! They certainly can - however, there are quite a few requirements that would need to be met in order to do so. I'm not familiar with the process enough to provide any guidance, but I can definitely route you to ASHP's specific text on it: Can Non-US Citizens Who Graduate from a US Pharmacy School Apply to Residency Training Programs?The Accreditation Standards for Postgraduate Year One and Year Two Pharmacy Residency programs states that the applicant should be a graduate of an ACPE-accredited PharmD program and the applicant must be licensed, or be eligible for licensure, in the state or jurisdiction in which the residency program is conducted. Therefore, if the applicant is a graduate from an ACPE college or school of pharmacy in the United States, is legally eligible to remain in the US after graduation, and meets requirements to become a licensed pharmacist in the US, a residency program may consider interviewing and ranking this applicant if they qualify for a residency program position.Can Non-US and US Citizens Who Graduate from Foreign Schools of Pharmacy Apply to Residency Training Programs?As stated above, the Standards require specific qualifications of the applicant. The applicant should be a graduate of an ACPE accredited PharmD program and the applicant must be licensed, or be eligible for licensure, in the state or jurisdiction in which the residency program is conducted. Non-US citizens must be eligible to work and live in the US by obtaining an appropriate visa and must be eligible to work as a licensed pharmacist in the state where the residency program is conducted. Non-US and US citizens who graduate from a foreign school of pharmacy must first be certified by examination before the process of licensure in the US can begin. The Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Committee ™ (FPGEC®) certificate program operates under the auspices of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy®. The NABP® provides the FPGEC Certification Program as a means of documenting the educational equivalency of a candidate's foreign education, as well as the license and or registration to practice pharmacy. More information about this entire process is provided in these NABP® links: www.nabp.net or you may call 1-847-391-4406.The National Matching Service (NMS) also checks the FPGEC credentials of graduates of foreign schools prior to enrolling them in the Match.
