Seriously, what is the point in doing a residency for a pharmacist? Other than it benefits the hospital or health system. Shouldn't pharmacists after their clinical rotations and a couple of weeks with on the job training be able to complete all tasks and be a competent pharmacist? Why do you need to complete a year residency just to adjust vanco doses, warfarin doses, or clinical teachings? What did you do in school/on rotations to not know how to be proficient at these tasks? Academia pushes sooooooooooooo hard for students to do residencies it's annoying. I feel it's just another way to take advantage of pharmacy students. Pharmacy is much different than medicine and it makes sense for doctors to have to complete residencies and be properly trained. Pharmacist don't do what doctors do although some like to try and play doctor from what I have seen.
