2024 Residency Match Stats and Predictions

This episode is all about our breakdown and opinions of the 2024 ASHP residency match statistics. Match statistics have stayed relatively the same from 2023 with little difference in number of applicants and match rate. This could mean good things! Your chance of matching to a program should stay relatively the same this year meaning an 80-90% chance to match to a program as long as you get an interview with one program.

This is our last episode of the preparation podcast episode. We will continue to be the post-graduate pharmacist, but we are making the transition to a podcast for current graduates and current practicing post-graduate pharmacist. Stay tuned for updates and insights into our new series that we hope to release by the end of 2024.

This episode's take-aways:

  1. Match rates have leveled off at around 82% match rates for those participating in the match.
  2. Higher number of early commitments to PGY2 programs from current PGY1 residents
