Fees and Application Requirements

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.
