I’m currently a biochemistry student and my career goal is to specialize in oncology pharmacy. Your channel really makes me excited for the adventure it takes to make that career choice a reality. Thank you for all the information!!

Wanted to point out that there are Indian Health Service Residencies (I am currently in one) and they normally pay the federal minimum for pharmacist pay. This is typically around $80-90k. However they are sometimes harder to get into for non-Indian preference students.

I’m a PY3 and I’m thinking about residency but I’m GPA is abysmal (a lovely 2.77). I do have work experience, extra curricular, and research experience. I was so gung-ho for doing a residency but in your professional opinion, do you think I should start considering other options?
