Pharmacy Residency Podcast Tony Guerra

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 either can be disastrous. If you are going to the VA, get licensed in Idaho so there is zero chance you will fail the MPJE. 

Conversations fly back and forth between RPDs and candidates way before the application window opens. Make sure you have a good email of interest to help build, sort, and qualify your final list to apply to. You can find the template here https://residency.teachable.com/ and if you want my one-on-one help with your LOI and emails, sign up for the Phase 2 course and email me at tonythepharmacist@gmail.com 

While the quality of residency applicants has gone down dramatically, residency sites are not lowering their standards and we have tremendous opportunities for good students to still get residencies.
Check out https://residency.teachable.com/p/phase2 or contact me with questions! I'm so excited to help you guys turn this tough day into an April victory! 

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.
Residencies will be relatively easy to get, with an over 80% match rate in the near future and into the 90s over the next three years. My role has moved from helping applicants just get a residency to earning one that is better for their career, health, and wealth with better culture, hours, and pay.

To start off, I recommend you also listen to another podcaster I follow and know, Derek John Delaney, a certified financial planner who has the PharmD Money Podcast, Episode 50, about retiring by 50 if you want to hear his thoughts on retiring at a somewhat early age.
