Introduction: Postgraduate year 2 (PGY2) internal medicine (IM) pharmacy residency programs have significantly grown over the past several years, and there is a perception that the IM clinical pharmacist job market is saturated. Thus, there is a need to confirm that the job market can support these graduates.Objectives: To characterize PGY2 IM pharmacy residency programs and PGY2 IM residents' pursuit of post-residency positions.Methods: A cross-sectional, online, anonymous, and voluntary survey was developed, pilot-tested, and sent to PGY2 IM pharmacy residency graduates from 2015 to 2019 across the United States. Specific aims were to identify and characterize initial jobs PGY2 IM-trained clinical pharmacists obtained post-residency and to describe residents' perceptions of the job market and how it influenced the positions they applied for.
