Pharmacy Residency

The College of Pharmacy recently celebrated the achievements of 85 senior pharmacy students in the Doctor of Pharmacy degree program for their acceptances into postgraduate residencies across the United States. These seniors represent 30 percent of the graduating class, an increase from previous years, said Michael McKenzie, Ph.D., senior associate dean for professional affairs at the UF College of Pharmacy. Though they will earn less than half the regular pharmacist’s salary as residents, they gain extra experience and training to pursue careers in their pharmacy career pathway.
