title: Strategies for successfully navigating the pharmacy residency interview process.
abstract: The residency interview process is an exciting, stressful, whirlwind experience. Suggestions for optimizing this experience include: maintaining a professional presence, arriving on-time, being collegial with your co-applicants, judicious use of your cell phone, preparation of questions to ask and responses to questions asked of you, and sending thank-you notes. While these suggestions may sound intuitive, in the heat of the moment it is possible to make a crucial interview faux pas. Thinking through these issues ahead of time and proactively planning for your interview experience will help you to be calm, confident, and poised for success during your interview.
