From attending Board meetings to serving as a liaison for the Joint Research Committee to participating on the AMCP Leadership team, I couldn’t have asked for a more valuable post-graduate training program.

Resident Spotlight: Katherine Tieu
Elevate Your Pharmacy Career
By: Katherine Tieu, PharmD, PGY1 Managed Care Resident
Residency is not just a year of long hours and intense learning; it is where I built a foundation of knowledge and forged a diverse skillset that equips me to excel in any professional role. Through the various challenges and opportunities during residency, I feel well-prepared to be a versatile and adaptable asset anywhere I go.
Be Confident and Sell Yourself
They say one year of residency is worth up to three to five years of experience, and I can attest to that. The monthly rotation schedule, combined with longitudinal experiences, has challenged me to be flexible and constantly improve my time management skills. These are just a few of the soft skills I have developed this year. In terms of hard skills, I have strengthened provider relationships, created a prior authorization algorithm, improved employer-specific quality measurement performance and more. Additionally, I have had numerous opportunities to enhance my public speaking abilities by presenting my work across various settings and audiences.
This is only a small portion of what I have achieved during my residency. I have accomplished more than I ever anticipated in one year, surpassing many of my initial goals and expectations. As I search for the next step in my career, I recognize the importance of highlighting these achievements and the unique value I bring. Although one year is short, the residency has allowed me to develop a robust skill set and provided me opportunities to make a meaningful impact. Therefore, I can confidently showcase my capabilities to position myself as a strong candidate to succeed in any professional role.
