Application Process
Selection into a BC Pharmacy Residency Program is competitive. Applications will be assessed by the BC Pharmacy Residency Program Coordinators. Upon application review, applicants may be offered an interview.
Following the interviews applicants rank their preferred programs and are matched based on the PRAMS algorithm.
Interviews
All BC Programs offer interviews at the University of British Columbia, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences in early December. The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences coordinates and schedules all BC program interviews. Individual programs may offer virtual or in-person interviews and some programs may offer interviews at additional locations. Interviews are offered in late November.
Other Important Information
- Prior to the start of a hospital residency, all residents must show proof of membership in the Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists and maintain membership through the period of the residency year.
- Successful applicants are required to pay a UBC registration fee prior to the start of their residency. In 2022 this fee was $98.02 and the fee is reviewed annually.
