Long Term Care Residencies

Members don't see this ad.

I am super new to this whole concept of residencies. I am just finishing my pre-pharmacy coursework now and will be starting pharmacy school later this year. I was told that if I want to work with folks that are living with terminal illnesses, that I will need to do one to two years of residencies. I was also told that there are no long-term care residencies in the state of Illinois. Is this true?

Is there a list of available residencies somewhere that I could access?

Does where I go to school make a huge impact when it comes time to apply for residencies? I am currently trying to decide between UIC or Midwestern-Downers Grove.

Thanks in advance for your time and input.
Chris

Thanks for the info. Right after I posted I finally found the ashp website that lists all of the residencies across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. It's getting me thinking...
