1. The Residency Showcase is intended for the graduating class of 2012.
Note to P1-P3 students: The Residency Showcase is intended to be a forum for representatives from residency programs and 2012 resident candidates to meet, discuss their programs, and exchange information. Because of this, and the strong demand for residency positions, many residency program representatives will have limited time to speak with P1-P3 students during the Showcase. We recommend that those students interested in seeing the Showcase, but who will not be pursuing a residency in 2012, please wait until the second half of the session to enter the Showcase. We also recommend attending the student educational sessions on Sunday designed to help inform students about residency programs, and especially for you--CV and Resume Writing on Monday and Personal Strategic Planning on Tuesday.
2. Your registration to the Midyear allows you to participate in the showcase (no additional fees are necessary).
3. Prepare in advance:
- Beginning in mid-November, print the Residency Showcase Listing
- Determine which sites you want to visit during the showcase.
- Find out the date and time those sites will be at the showcase.
- Look at the diagram of the showcase and know where those sites will be located in the hall.
- Programs are listed by site, not by specific type of residency program offered.
4. IMPORTANT: Don’t miss a program that you want to see. Participating sites ONLY exhibit during ONE time slot. They DO NOT exhibit at ALL sessions. Use the following key to see the time when the sites you want to see are displaying:
| Series # |
Date/Time |
| 4000 Series #s |
Monday, December 5, 1:00 p.m.-4:30 p.m. |
| 5000 Series #s |
Tuesday AM, December 6, 8:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m. |
| 6000 Series #s |
Tuesday PM, December 6, 1:00 p.m.-4:30 p.m. |
5. Not enough time to talk to the sites you're most interested in? Ask the program representatives if they are available at another time during the Midyear to talk with you.
6. Some programs are also involved in the Personal Placement Services (PPS). This allows time for one-on-one interviews, but requires an additional fee to participate in this process. Find out more information.
7. Be respectful of each program's time. Have your questions prepared before you visit the them at the showcase.
Plenty of ASHP staff will be onsite to answer your questions. Or contact EducServ@ashp.org with your questions.
Good luck to all prospective residents and residency programs for the 2012-2013 residency year!
