An applicant screening and selection procedure for a hospital pharmacy residency program which (1) efficiently processes a large number of applicants while minimizing the subjective nature of the review process and (2) ranks candidates for submission to the ASHP Residency Matching Program is described. A screening and selection committee consisting of five staff members of the hospital pharmacy department was created. Goals of the residency program and qualities of the optimal resident were defined prior to development of the screening and selection program. Two forms were used by staff in the screening process: a screening worksheet for the preinterview screen, and an evaluation chart for the interview phase. Each form outlined the criteria which serve as indicators of academic, professional and personal development in a format that allows easy extraction of data. By carefully defining program goals and identifying specific human qualities most compatible with those goals, the likelihood of successful applicant selection through use of a systematic screening process is increased.
