Time to start ranking for pharmacy residencies like I told you all those years ago 😛

All that is needed to rank for pharmacy residencies on youtube: CPR Certification

Great tips! Reheasring full scripted answers is a bad recipe, gotta find a balance like robert downey jr: bullet points and a little, but appropriate improvising

Yeah i definitely learned my lesson. I used to script out all my presentations back in pharmacy school...including my jokes :)

Interviewer: "What do you do for fun?" Brian: "Video games. Because unlike girls they never leave you"

LOL - I've actually been asked that on pharmacy interviews many times. I've always had to use a watered-down version of the answer....:)

1:29 when you say "teaching certificate" what does that mean? Thanks for a great video!

@briankfung 2 жыл бұрын

Many residency programs offer "teaching certificates" that allow residents to hone their teaching skills in a structured manner. It differs by program and certificate, but usually consists of a teaching portfolio that requires X amounts of projects like journal clubs, lectures, etc. to give students practical experience in teaching others. Thanks for watching!

When a student doing his bachelor in Pharmacy, what will be your advice to them? how should they go forward?

@briankfung 3 жыл бұрын

I don’t quite understand your question here. You won’t be able to apply for residency until you graduate pharmacy school. Though, I probably wouldn’t say the advice is any different either. Hope that helps!

hi there! How did you make a website and attached all of your work on there ? That is a really good idea. My interview is next week

@briankfung 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Kelly! Yep - that's exactly what I did. Most websites nowadays can be created using simple templates and drag+drop designs. I had different sections on my website that listed my current resume/CV, all my presentations, projects (e.g. inservices or tipsheets), and other things all uploaded and linked to the website so I could bring it up during the interviews. Some of my favorites when it comes to quickly creating simple websites: Squarespace and Wix. Good luck on your interview!

I have a question in regards to past projects and presentations. In preparation for your interview, did you go through each item and update anything that was “out of date”. Or did you mention that during your response to questions about your past work? Thank you in advance.

@briankfung 2 жыл бұрын

I definitely updated my CV, continuously, up until the point of each interview. As for removing “out of date” things - I typically leave any major presentations or projects I worked on. I made sure to study/review all of those presentations and projects beforehand because everything is fair game if on the CV. Now, if there’s something you don’t want to be asked about - don’t put it in CV lol.

Also, how do you naturally bring up common interests or something you learned about the individual you’re interviewed with? (Final question, thank you!)

@briankfung 2 жыл бұрын

It’s easier said than done. It is probably no different than a normal conversation you’re having with a stranger where you identify a mutual interest. If it doesn’t naturally come up, sometimes the easiest is at the end where they ask you “do you have any questions” where you could insert, “I noticed the pharmacist showed us this project they were working on and recall seeing you do a presentation about it. What are your thoughts by it and how it could improve?”. Something along those lines - very situational.
