What dept do you work for? Last month professor at my school said residency is necessary. How wrong is he?!!

Formulary management. He's right to an extent as the majority of positions won't consider people without residency or prior managed care experience or unless you have great connections.

I see there is a resident program there. Is it any good?

I know for the most part they've retained their residents as employees, but I don't work closely with the residents enough to give any useful insight on the program.

I saw alot of managed care residency require a presentation during interview... anyone know the kind of presentation they are expecting? will they give you a subject on the spot or give you one a few days ahead of time?

Well I guess I only had the chance to talk to 1 managed care residency at midyear... but the one I did talk to was a new program with their 1st resident this year, and they told me they expected to have at least 40 applicant for 1 position... now imagine a program in irvine OPTUMRX I'd assume a **** ton more ppl is going to apply to that one even tho it have 2 spots or Blue Shield of Cali in San Fran....
but Idk... wish they had a FAQ section on their website that states how many ppl usually apply like some other programs...I wish not many ppl applies tho lol
