Application Procedure

The Resident Matching Program

ASHP contracts with the National Matching Service (NMS) to operate a Resident Matching Program for all ASHP-accredited pharmacy residencies. The Resident Matching Program ensures that each pharmacy residency program will be matched with the individuals who have applied and who have selected the program as an acceptable site in which to train.

To apply for the CoxHealth Residency in Pharmacy Practice, you must sign up for the Resident Matching Program at natmatch.com/ashprmp.

Applicants for CoxHealth Pharmacy Residencies must be a graduate (or candidate for graduation if seeking PGY1) of an Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) accredited degree program (or one in process of pursuing accreditation) or have a Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Committee (FPGEC) certificate from the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP). At a minimum, the program must be a five-year pharmacy degree program. Applicants must also be registered with the National Resident Matching Program described above. CoxHealth does participate in PhORCAS, the Pharmacy Online Residency Centralized Application Service, offered via ASHP. For more information on PhORCAS, visit natmatch.com/ashprmp.
