Dear Dr. Ragucci,
I am writing to express my interest in the Medical University of South Carolina PGY1 Pharmacy
Residency Program. I enjoyed learning about your program at the Residency Showcase at the ASHP
Midyear Clinical Meeting. Your residency offers many experiences which I am looking for in a first year
post-graduate program, including a variety of rotation opportunities, teaching and research experience,
and a challenging environment where I can advance my skills as a clinical pharmacist.
Over the past four years, I have been active in the School of Pharmacy at the University of North Carolina
where I have served as a class leader, instructed first-year pharmacy students, and participated in
student organizations. This year, I was the recipient of the Pharmacy Foundation of North Carolina
George T. Cornwell Scholarship, which recognizes students who have demonstrated integrity,
commitment to pharmacy, and a capacity for leadership. For my fourth year rotations, I was honored with
acceptance into the Clinical Scholars Program at the University of North Carolina Hospitals. This is a
competitive program that offers a more rigorous set of clinical rotations and is offered only to those
students who demonstrate an advanced clinical aptitude. As a Clinical Scholar, I have had the
opportunity to participate in research to help improve patient care at the UNC Infectious Diseases Clinic.
As a supplement to clinical rotations, I also work as a pharmacy technician at Duke University Medical
Center. This has afforded me practical pharmacy experience and given me valuable insight into the
components of a successful distribution mechanism. I have also learned the importance of teamwork to
providing patients with the best care possible. Collectively, I feel my experiences have deepened my
desire to exceed in the profession and will prepare me to succeed as a resident.
Upon completion of a PGY1 residency, I plan to pursue specialized training. My current areas of interest
include critical care, internal medicine, and transplant pharmacy. After training, I plan to become board
certified in pharmacotherapy and pursue a career at an academic teaching hospital as a clinical
specialist. My long-term goal is to be involved in academia giving didactic lectures and precepting
students. I find your program’s teaching certificate and opportunity to precept students an appealing
component. I believe training at the Medical University of South Carolina will help me achieve my career
goals.
Based upon my knowledge of your program, I believe I would be an excellent fit. I am a hard worker with
great time management skills, have experience in research, and demonstrate dedication to
pharmaceutical care. If given the opportunity, I will work hard to contribute to the Medical University of
South Carolina tradition of training exceptional clinicians and leaders in our profession. Please find my
application materials enclosed. I look forward to the opportunity to visit your institution. Thank you for
your consideration.
Sincerely,
