Objective. To develop, implement, and assess the impact of an elective course for pharmacy students on postgraduate pharmacy residency training.Design. An elective course on residency training was developed using short lectures, group discussions, and active-learning strategies, such as small-group exercises, mock match, and mock interview. Assessment. Students were asked to self-assess their understanding and abilities related to residency training at the beginning and end of the semester based on course objectives. The median post-semester responses increased for all objectives compared to baseline (p,0.05). Conclusion. A residency elective using a variety of teaching methods increased student knowledge and confidence in their skills regarding residency training.
