Application Process
**Please Note That Our Two-Year UNC Medical Center Residency Program Application REQUIRES Submission of Supplemental Essay Question Responses**
Application Process Overview
Everything detailed below must be completed prior to the deadline for your application to be considered.
The Masters of Science Degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences / Two Year Health-System Pharmacy Administration Residency Program is offered in collaboration with University of North Carolina Hospitals (UNCH), Duke University Health System (DUHS), Wake Forest Baptist Health (WFBH), Mission Hospitals (MH), Cone Health (CH), Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), BayCare, and other various institutions. While everyone who is accepted into the program will receive their Masters of Science Degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the residency component is divided across multiple medical center sites.
Interested applicants will need to apply to the University of North Carolina Graduate School for their didactic component. The applicant will also need to complete separate applications for each residency program to which they wish to apply – UNCH, DUHS, AHWFB, MH, CH, MGH, Baycare, UH, NHRMC, HUP, NH, EH, or BMC. Applicants need only to apply to their residency programs of interest.
Individual interviews times will be scheduled at times convenient for applicants and institutions. Each applicant and program will communicate to identify the ideal time to conduct the interview. Our hope is to have all of the interviews for an applicant in one consecutive period, with the programs providing transportation if needed.
Each program will participate in the match, but each one has a different match number. If you have not done so already, please make sure to register for the National Matching Service offered through ASHP.
