PharmD students who look to take that extra step towards building their career with further residency training can be pretty green, and the residency interview team is fully aware of this fact. Whether you are considering a specific subspecialty like ambulatory care or cardiology or learning more advanced skills like nutrition support or informatics, you should be aware of where you need further knowledge and skills. Your interview team will appreciate the fact that you are aware of your shortcomings and have a plan for addressing them if you match into their program, so be sure to put some thought into this before your interview and come prepared to discuss your drive and willingness to tackle your weaknesses.

"From my first years in pharmacy training, becoming a Nuclear Pharmacist has been a long-time goal of mine. While I've spent as much time in rotation in the field during my training, I of course would come to your program pretty raw in calibrating scintillation detectors and survey meters. I have a very strong technological grasp on things and am confident that I will be able to learn quickly in this area with hands-on training. I can also see how my lack of mathematics education over the last four years can be seen as a weakness, but I'm actually very strong in math and look forward to learning more in radiation physics and mathematics of radioactivity classes in your program."
