Whether you have just started pharmacy school or are entering P4 year, this book is valuable for all pharmacy students who are preparing for residency. It is an easy and fast read, thoroughly enjoyable, and filled with interesting anecdotes. Each chapter is tailored for a specific purpose so you can skip to the chapters that are most pertinent to you depending on what stage you are in of the application process.
What I found useful in the book:
Appendix F: Questions to Ask & Avoid During Interviews - I was asked a lot of these same questions on every interview. I would recommend for future applicants to practice these questions.
Ch. 2 Developing Your Curriculum Vitae and Personal Statement - I keyed in on some glaring errors I had previously made and it helped streamline my CV.
Ch. 3 Contacting Residency Directors and Fellowship Directors - This laid out for me when the most appropriate time is to contact RPDs.
Ch. 4 ASHP Midyear and Clinical Meeting: Residency Showcase and PPS - If you are wondering whether to participate in PPS, if you're reading this and have no idea what PPS is, the book covers all these points. Also, the first time you go to ASHP Midyear it is quite overwhelming so knowing in advance what to expect is important.
Ch. 6 Interview Day - I was invited to several interviews and re-read this chapter prior to each interview to help me prepare.
At the end, I was able to secure a residency and definitely think reading this book gave me a competitive edge.

I purchased "Get The Residency" near the beginning of my P4 year to guide me through the residency application process. From ASHP Midyear to match day is a strange, stressful time and I was thankful to purchase this book. Overall it served as a great resource for some difficult to find information. The most useful sections are ASHP Midyear, Interview Day, After the Interview, and the potential interview questions.
There are times when the authors recommend actions that seem overly polite or unnecessary such as writing thank you notes to every person who interviews you (when you have 7 interviews with 12 people each it starts to add up) or contacting residency directors months before ASHP Midyear. At Midyear some directors were impressed I emailed them before meeting and others had no idea who I was when I offered my name. However, I learned throughout interviewing that residency directors have different expectations. Going overboard with politeness will not hurt you nearly as much as a director considering you to be rude.
In the end, the recommendations and examples given by the authors will only help your chances of getting into a residency high on your list. I followed their advice and happened to match at a very competitive program that was my first choice. Highly recommended for any pharmacy student hoping to get into residency. For the price it's a no-brainer.
