2008 ASHP Residency Showcase Application - For Program Directors ONLY [PDF]

All residency programs participating in the showcase will be displaying on either Monday afternoon from 1:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M., Tuesday morning from 8:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M., or Tuesday afternoon from 1:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M.  This allows a great opportunity for prospective residents to meet those programs recruiting for the 2009-2010 year!

The showcase is a terrific forum to meet programs' current residents and preceptors in an informal session and to gain information about their programs and institutions.  Also, be sure to register for PPS if you want to have one-on-one interviews with programs participating in the showcase that are also interviewing in PPS.  There are no other venues available for prospective residents and programs to meet so many potential residency candidates in such an efficient forum!

The location and listing of the programs that will be at the meeting, along with the time, day, and booth number are published in the October 15 issue of the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, the Midyear Clinical Meeting (MCM) Program Book, and on the ASHP website at http://www.ashp.org/midyear08. It is also important to review the daily News and Views at the MCM for any changes or additional programs that were added to the showcase after publication of the journal article and MCM program book.

ASHP staff members and members of the ASHP Commission on Credentialing will be available at an information desk housed within the residency showcase to answer any questions that anyone may have during showcase hours.

HELPFUL TIPS FOR PROSPECTIVE RESIDENTS

•  Your registration to the MCM allows you to participate in the showcase (no additional fees are necessary).
•  Do your homework.   It’s important to outline which sites you want to visit during the showcase.   Please find out which date and time the sites that you plan to visit will be at the showcase.  Take a look at the diagram of the showcase and know where you’re going to be visiting.
•  Sites that only have one program will have smaller booths.   Sites that have multiple programs may be displaying at larger booths.
•  Programs are listed by site, not by specific type of residency program offered.
•  Sites participating ONLY exhibit during ONE time slot.   They DO NOT exhibit during ALL sessions.  Use the following key to make sure that the sites that you want to see are displaying during certain sessions:

•  Make sure and look at the News and Views at the MCM during showcase days to see if any more programs have been added or any have changed their timeslot.
•  If you don’t get a chance to talk to the program as much as you’d like, see if any of the program representatives are available to meet at another time during the meeting.
•  Be respectful of each program's time.  Have your questions prepared before you visit them at the showcase.  If you are a student and will not be completing a residency in the next year, be respectful of the program and other candidates' time that are looking for a match during the upcoming year.

Good luck to all prospective residents and residency programs for the 2009-2010 residency year!
