Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine non-modifiable pharmacy program characteristics on residency match rates. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists match and non-match lists were de-identified and evaluated for students graduating in 2015. Variables analysed included length of program, type of institution and didactic grading scheme. Students from 4-year programs, attending a public institution, or using a grade point average had greater odds of matching. Logistic regression model indicated a good model fit (χ2(2) of 4.44, P = 0.108). Students considering residency training may benefit from awareness of such factors when choosing a pharmacy program.
