Popis:	Purpose Attainment of postgraduate year 1 (PGY1) residency positions has become increasingly competitive. Inclusion of clinical knowledge and problem-solving assessments in onsite interviews has increased in recent years. Characterization of these assessments is necessary for applicants to best prepare for interviews and for mentors to provide guidance. Methods An online survey was emailed to program directors of PGY1 pharmacy residency programs accredited by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests were used to compare categorical data. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze nonparametric continuous data. Results Of the 221 respondents, most identified their programs as based at community (48%) or academic (39%) medical centers. Ninety percent of programs reported inclusion of clinical knowledge and problem-solving assessments in the onsite interview process. The most common assessments included asking clinical questions (70%), development of a SOAP (subjective, objective, assessment, plan) note or care plan (42%), and formal presentations that applicants prepared prior to arrival (39%). Most programs (71%) reported incorporating multiple assessments, with 2 assessments included most commonly (43%). Clinical assessment performance accounted for 10% to 25% of the overall interview score in approximately half of programs. Conclusion During onsite PGY1 residency interviews, applicants must be prepared to participate in at least 1 clinical knowledge and problem-solving assessment, including answering clinical questions, developing a SOAP note or care plan, and/or delivering a presentation. Applicants should expect that these assessments will account for a substantial portion of the interview evaluation.
