The article is a year old lol (updated 11/19, but user comments from 3/19). I didn't read the whole article because so many pharmacist SDNers have affirmed this. I did, however, read the comments... it was gratifying to see that residency program coordinator disagree about residents being "cheap labor" only to have other commentators slap her with a dose of reality.

There is no convincing the residency program coordinator, just like there's no convincing pre-pharms.

I'd say that residencies are just like rotations: not meant to be cheap labor, and good ones aren't, but there is no shortage of bad ones...

Then why don't they pay them the same salary as their staff pharmacists?
