Objective. To evaluate the impact of a residency-focused introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) on student perceived knowledge of and attitudes toward postgraduate residency training. Methods. Second-and third-year student pharmacists completed a required four-hour experience at a residency training site. Students completed a five-item survey before and after the experience, indicating their perceived knowledge of residency training components as well as their own postgraduate plans. Students also submitted a written reflection following the experience. Paired t tests were used to compare pre-and post-survey responses. Qualitative analysis was completed to identify common themes in student reflections and code for positive, neutral, or negative student experience. Results. A total of 276 students completed the Introduction to Postgraduate Residency Training IPPE in summer 2016. Post-experience survey responses indicated a significant increase in students' perceived knowledge of residency programs; however, plans to pursue residency training did not significantly change after completing the experience. Twenty-five independent themes were identified in reading student reflections, with the most common theme (included in 55% of reflections) being that the experience "clarified resident day-today responsibilities." The majority (95%) of students perceived the experience as valuable. Conclusion. A residency-focused IPPE increased student pharmacists' perceptions of knowledge about postgraduate residency training and was viewed by students as a beneficial experience.
