PGY-1 Residency application procedure
Applications through ASHP Phorcas

- A minimum of three (3) formal letters of professional reference. Two references should be from practicing clinical pharmacists with whom the applicant has had patient care experience. The remaining one reference can be from a faculty member in the applicant’s professional degree program, from work experience, or another health professional who can evaluate the candidate’s clinical experience.
