"Throughout my time in pharmacy school, I became really interested in residency, specifically managed care residencies. I attended your open house and was so captivated by how the residents spoke about their experiences. Following the open house, I began emailing Dr. Anna Smith, and she continued sharing what she's learning in the program and how she's growing as a clinician. I am particularly interested in this program as I'm interested in pursuing a teaching certificate in combination with (university name) and am fascinated by the cutting-edge research opportunities residents take part in. I am also really excited about the opportunities to precept students."

This is the time to prove you did research on their program. Mention if you went to an open house or met them at a residency showcase. If you know someone who was a previous resident in their program, you can mention that as well. Be sure to highlight 2-3 specifics about their program that you are really interested in.
