  • Ep. 570 24 Hour LOI Editing Turnaround - Pharmacy Residency Letter of Intent One-on-One Help
    Dec 26 2024
    Welcome to the Pharmacy Residency Podcast!

    I just wanted to remind you that I’m still offering one-on-one help with letters of intent for residency applications. If you’d like to work with me, simply head to residency.teachable.com. Look for the interview course, sign up there, and then email me your letter of intent.

    Make sure your letter is addressed and formatted according to the template provided in the free LOI course. Include as much detail as possible—aiming for a page and a half is better than a single page because it’s always easier to trim content than to add more later.

    When you send your email, I’ll also ask for some additional information, like your CV and a link to the program you’re applying to. I typically complete reviews within 24 to 48 hours, so don’t worry if your deadlines are coming up. I’ll make sure you’re all set.

    The first letter review also comes with a template that can help you efficiently create the other 10 to 12 letters you might need for the remaining programs you're applying to.

    One quick tip: don’t limit yourself to just applying to four programs because of financial constraints. While budgets can be tight, applying to too few sites often limits your opportunities. Find a way to maximize your applications—it can make a huge difference.

    If you have any questions, feel free to email me at tonythepharmacist@gmail.com. Again, I can turn your letter around in 24 to 48 hours, so deadlines are no problem.

    Thanks for listening, and I’m here to help you succeed!

    Building Long-term Relationships
    • Use Midyear as a networking opportunity beyond just the residency showcase.
    • Connect with peers, mentors, and professionals to expand your support network.
    • Keep track of contacts and continue nurturing those relationships post-conference.

    This podcast equips listeners with the tools they need to navigate the ASHP Midyear with confidence and professionalism, helping you maximize the chances of landing your ideal residency. Tune in to learn how preparation, networking, and resilience can make all the difference!
