Why Students Attend the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting
1. Make a Personal Connection That Could Change Your Career +
It might sound dramatic, but it happens every year at the Midyear Meeting. At Midyear, one conversation can lead to:
- A mentor to guide your next 2 years and beyond
- An employer or residency program you didn’t know existed
- A lasting impression on a residency program before interviews even start
Let’s be real. Meeting and connecting with new people can be a challenge. Hone your skills to be ready when the time is right. Come to Midyear and embrace:
- Introducing yourself to new professionals
- Ask questions that matter in your next career move
2. Attend Pharmacy’s Largest In-Person Job Fair +
Personnel Placement Service (PPS) is pharmacy’s largest in-person job fair hosted onsite at the Midyear Clinical Meeting that includes hiring managers from every area of pharmacy including fellowships, residencies, full-time positions, faculty, and more.
- PPS is now FREE to all Midyear Clinical Meeting registered attendees including students.
3. Attend the Residency Showcase +
Get the real vibes from residency programs. Online open houses, websites, and social media posts can only tell you so much about a residency program. At Midyear you can:
- Experience how residency directors communicate and lead
- See how residents interact with each other
- Ask questions you can’t ask online
One of the top reasons students attend Midyear is to participate in the largest pharmacy residency showcase in the world. Exclusively at Midyear you will:
- Explore more than 1,000 programs from institutions nationwide in a single location
- Compare multiple programs side-by-side in a single day
- Discover programs you may have never considered before
- Make connections with programs before applications even open
4. Energy You Can’t Get Anywhere Else +
There’s something exciting about being surrounded by tens of thousands of people with the same goal — pursuing their dreams and advancing healthcare.
At Midyear:
- Motivation feels contagious
- Be reminded of your perfect fit in pharmacy
- Feel more connected, supported, and mentally prepared
