| The University of Toledo College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (CPPS) is
thrilled to announce another outstanding year in the residency match process! Our
students have once again demonstrated their dedication, clinical excellence, and commitment
to patient care, securing placements in highly competitive residency programs across
the country. For Phase 1, we achieved an impressive 88.5% match rate, with our students heading to 12 different states for a variety of programs. The Phase 2 match will take place in April, providing additional opportunities for our graduates. We are also excited to share that 11 students matched into PGY-2 residencies across nine specialized programs, including Ambulatory Care, Cardiology, Critical Care, Emergency Medicine, Infectious Diseases, Neurology, Palliative Care & Pain Management, Psychiatry and Solid Organ Transplant. These outstanding results reflect not only the hard work of our students but also the strength of our curriculum, faculty mentorship, and experiential learning opportunities. Our graduates are well-prepared to advance their training and make a lasting impact on the pharmacy profession. In addition to our excellence in residency placements, CPPS is proud to be a leader in cosmetic science education, offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees. I often describe this program as pharmaceutics applied to the personal care industry—bridging science and innovation to shape the future of cosmetics. As part of our commitment to advancing the field, we host specialized workshops that provide professionals and students with hands-on experience in cosmetic formulation and manufacturing. This April, in partnership with the Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC), we will host an event covering a wide range of essential topics, along with hands-on lab exercises. Participants will benefit from expert instruction, access to course materials, and a certificate of completion from SCC. For more details or to enroll, see the information below. As we approach the home stretch of the semester, it’s hard to believe that graduation is just one month away! Thank you to our faculty, staff, alumni, and supporters who continue to make our college an outstanding place for students to learn, grow, and excel. Dean Pam Heaton |
