Residency to Reality: Launching Your Clinical Pharmacy Career

Saturday, October 17, 2026 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. MDT at Salt Palace Convention Center - Ballroom I

This session will equip trainees for the transition to independent clinical practice with practical tools to navigate early career decisions. Participants will reflect on their professional goals and assess job opportunities for alignment with their desired trajectory. The session will guide trainees in evaluating key elements of job offers and highlight behaviors and competencies required for independent practice, integrating them with intentional professional development planning to help participants create a strategic roadmap for early-career success.

Learning Objectives

1. Analyze personal and professional priorities to differentiate between job opportunities that align with versus conflict with their desired career trajectory.  

2. Evaluate elements of a curriculum vitae to determine what should be retained, modified, removed, or added for a targeted position

3. Apply key principles of job offer evaluation (e.g., compensation, expectations, growth opportunities) to formulate a negotiation strategy that reflects individual priorities and market value.  

4. Integrate behaviors required for independent practice with prioritization of professional development opportunities to construct a strategic early-career plan that supports advancement and promotion.
