It can cost you thousands of dollars if you fail the MPJE or NAPLEX and while residents would not lose pay, they could lose their residency placement. In this episode, Jerri Sanger, a P4 at the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy shares her advice regarding studying for the NAPLEX.  Want to check out a pharmacology review course, head to https://residency.teachable.com/

In this episode we talk to Joe Baker who wrote Baker's Dirty Dozen: Principles for Financial Independence. Selfishly, I wanted to know what to do to not only help my own kids with their financial futures, but how I can help pay for them. Joe goes through some of the decisions he made and is really entertaining with stories that stick. Here's a link to his book.  https://www.amazon.com/Bakers-Dirty...

They say it's not what you make it's what you keep. Here's an interesting look at how much pharmacists keep. One thing that keeps you moving forward is being in a job you love, here's some jobs other pharmacists love https://www.audible.com/pd/Finding-Your-Unicorn-Job-for-Pharmacists-Audiobook/B07RSDRQK6?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-151638&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_151638_rh_us  

I predict around 600 matches for Phase II match day with around 75 spots left over for the scramble. I don't think there will be only 400 rejected applicants in Phase II leaving a lot of room for going after those 75 spots if you want them.

Pharmacology Course: https://residency.teachable.com/ NAPLEX Pass Rates start at 21% and average out at 80% and MPJE Pass Rates start at 25% and average out at 77%. While it may not be fair, RPDs would do well to at least ask how your NAPLEX and MPJE preparation is coming along and I make a recommendation that RPDs should bring their cohorts together in an MPJE group to learn the laws as failing e...

I am introducing a pivot to the show in this episode, where it will become the Pharmacy Residency and Money podcast, where we will talk about career, health, and wealth related to residency.

Interview Course: https://residency.teachable.com/p/interview I go through several recent Reddit posts to answer questions that are top of mind. The big thing is that if you didn't get an interview or only got a few, you need to figure out why. Here are the top reasons 1. Toxic Recommendations 2. Too many out-of-state applications 3. College has a poor match rate 4. LOI is generic  Need my help, e...

As the Google doc fills up with screening interviews, days programs will send out interviews, and actual interviews, the big key for this first round is winning your cohort.

In this course, I go over that method which...
