We appreciate your interest in the OHSU PGY2 Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Residency Program. Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply.

Application materials, which must be submitted via PhORCAS and should include:

• Official transcripts from all professional pharmacy education
• Curriculum vitae

When are applications due?

Our application deadline is January 2nd. All required components of the application file should be received this date. You must contact the Residency Program Director directly to request consideration of your application file if it is incomplete by the deadline. We do not begin reviewing applicant's files until they are complete.

What happens after I submit my application?

After we receive completed files, we use a series of pre-determined criteria to evaluate each applicant before deciding who will be invited to provide further information. Multiple preceptors review the files to make sure we give each applicant a fair assessment. We plan to contact applicants in mid-January and will schedule preliminary virtual interviews. We will then schedule a secondary virtual interview for finalists. There is not a set number of applicants that we invite for interview. Our interviews are primarily scheduled in late January and early February.

Does your program require a pharmacy practice residency to be eligible for your specialty?

Our specialty residency program in infectious diseases is designed as a PGY2 program. As such, eligible candidates must be in the process of completing or must have completed a PGY1 experience. A copy of the PGY1 Residency Certificate will be requested upon entering the PGY2 program at OHSU.
