I am hearing tidbits of information about residencies and fellowships available for PharmD students/gradutes but I cannot find much information on these. I have been told by one person that to do a fellowship (in Pharmacy anyhow) it is required that one do a residency as well. Is this accurate? Is it 1 year Residency, two years fellowship? If these occur after graduation, are loans deferred, or after the 6 months are they to be paid?
If anybody has any information on requirements of fellowship programs, loan information, or any anectdotal information of any sort related to residencies and fellowships I would love to hear them. I would like to learn information on fellowships in Pharmacy, but if there are similarities I wouldn’t mind hearing about other fields.
When I enroll in Pharmacy school here in UMKC next fall I will probably ask these things, but I simply cannot let it rest, I must know these things, even if not wholely accurate. I would like to plan ahead and have the information, but a google search doesn’t really come up with a lot, at least in the first tries.
FWIW, I hope to get invovled in Neuropharmeceutical research, not sure if one gets to pick the sub-field or it just happens along…
Any informaton would be helpful.
