Eleven students of the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo<\/a> Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy<\/a> (DKICP<\/abbr>) were recently matched to postgraduate residency programs in a competitive national process. Organized through the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, the annual event known as Match Day helps qualified students obtain positions in either postgraduate year one (PGY<\/abbr>1) or postgraduate year two (PGY<\/abbr>2) pharmacy residency programs of their choice at hospitals and healthcare facilities around the country.<\/p>\n

In the results of Round 1 matches, announced March 16, 2023, 50% of DKICP<\/abbr>\u2019s PGY<\/abbr>1 applicants were matched and 75% of the PGY<\/abbr>2 applicants were matched.<\/p>\n

“Residency match is a highly competitive process and occurs in two rounds, with Round 2 results to be announced in mid-April,” said Interim Dean Miriam Mobley Smith<\/strong>. “These impressive Round 1 results demonstrate the highest quality of these students\u2019 academics, service and scholarship over their four-year career here at DKICP<\/abbr>. On behalf of the faculty and staff, I congratulate them for their incredible efforts.”<\/p>\n
