The four of us have had different stories on what we did after not matching and want to let you know that it\\u2019s OKAY. There\\u2019s still Phase 2, there\\u2019s still other pathways to get to where you want to go.

Original Shownotes from 2019: This year, over 4000 thousand applicants matched for a PGY1 or PGY2 pharmacy residency program. These individuals are moving on to an amazing opportunity where they can continue to expand their skillset and evolve their knowledge.

But\\u2026 over 2000 applicants did NOT get this chance.

If you were one of the individuals who did not match, know that you are NOT alone. Know that it\\u2019s OKAY. Know that there are MANY different pathways to achieve your end goal.
