After completing a 2-year residency program, I found that much of it is subjective and based on preceptor's preference/favor. Do you think completing a residency will become required nationwide? What are your thoughts on residency programs?

Required to do what?

No I don't.

like

To work as a pharmacist. Hospital, retail/neighborhood, and industry pharmacy careers all have programs and are pretty heavily encouraged in some areas.

I don’t think it will be required nationwide, especially since big chains are having a hard time finding staff.

In my opinion , the residency program is good for people wanting to be in the hospital. Is it needed to be an inpatient or clinical pharmacist? Probably not.. but it helps train people for inpatient and clinical pharmacist work
