Resumen del Editor

If you’re reading this, it’s likely that either you didn't get an interview, or you feel "Residency Match Day" was one of the worst days of your life. However, there is, if you get an interview invitation, a one-in-five chance to still earn a residency position this year.

That number goes up dramatically if you use some of the techniques in this book that puts you not only ahead of the game, but ahead of the curve. A successful phase-two match doesn’t come from luck, but from a series of correct steps that make your chance of matching much more likely. With only a few days between the results of the phase-one match and PhORCAS opening for applications, it’s better you listen to this book beforehand, as a “just in case”.

While many will enter phase two, many cannot. Whether it is because you are place-bound with family, don’t see yourself in the narrowed group of options, or simply want to look for other opportunities, I’ve included a bonus chapter from Finding Your Unicorn Job: Financial Freedom, Flexible Hours, and Personal Fulfillment Beyond the Pharmacy Counter.

Often I hear students say, “It’s not that I really want a residency; it’s that I don’t want to work in retail.” While I personally enjoyed community pharmacy, I understand. This book provides stories from many pharmacists who love their job. I know you didn’t match, and I respect that was a tough day. But what defines a person as a professional is what one does when one gets knocked down. I want to help you get up and get after it, and in this quick guide, you can.

Very helpful and insightful book

I really liked this book. Dr. Guerra explained the phase II application and gave his recommendations in very detailed yet concise language. He walked through all the things that needed to be done to maximize the chance of scoring an interview. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's planning to apply for phase II. There's also a chapter talking about nontraditional and niche jobs, which are good to know as a backup plan.
