Students gather in new office

The new COP offices in the TGen Building hosted their first event on Nov. 13 when Jamie Joy, experiential education director in Phoenix, held a Residency Planning seminar.

The two-hour seminar and dinner attracted 15 fourth-year PharmD students who were interested in information and tools to help them plan for residencies. The seminar provided information about the importance of a residency program, CV and resume tips, timelines and important deadlines regarding applying for residency programs, preparing for the ASHP midyear meeting and interviewing tips.

There were five guest speakers: Mitch Buckley, St Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center; Hilary Davis, Carl T. Hayden Veterans Affairs Medical Center; Jon Glover, Pfizer; Jennifer Retterer, Carl T. Hayden Veterans Affairs Medical Center; and Karen Wright, Scottsdale Healthcare Shea Medical Center.
