uvicstudent Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Hi everyone, I am currently a hospital pharmacist and have completed a clinical pharmacy residency. This was a year long program that included about 8 different clinical rotations (ie. emerg, ICU, psychiatry etc) usually x 4 weeks each. My question is, what would be the best way to enter this? I could do it as a single entry (2500+ hours) or break it down into 8ish different entries (ie. emerg rotation x 250hr etc). Any advice or input would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

Psych Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Personally, I would keep it as one entry to free up more entries for other things, but that totally depends on how many things you have to say. I filled all 32 entries on my ABS and still had a bunch of stuff I had to cut out, so I would not have been able to spare 8 entries for one thing. The general advice people give is to have quality over quantity on your ABS (20 long-term activities are better than 32 short ones), but it is still good to show that you're a well-rounded person with a fair number of interests/ECs. 32 entries for everything you've done since age 16 is not that much imo. But as I said, in the end it really comes down to you and how many ECs you have. If you truly have the space to spare 8 entries for this, then I would do it, but if not then I would do one entry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingassault Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 One entry in my opinion. Like mentioned, it might be better that you have a residency done (which is very impressive) and all the other stuff you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandelay Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 As an allied HCP, I also have clinical rotations I am adding to my ABS and adding on the ‘Others’ Section for all the different rotations I did. I’m personally adding them as separate entries and only the ones where I’m still in contact w my preceptors to verify it for me and ones I thought made an impact on me.

uvicstudent Posted July 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Thanks so much for the input! that makes a lot of sense. Starting to think that ill keep it to just one entry - as it already has another entry for the research I did as part of the program. I might consider adding one of my more meaningful rotations into the "other" section if I have room at the end. Thanks again everyone Psych 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
