I'm a pharmacy student starting APPE rotations in January. I currently work as an intern in a large pharmacy chain, but I'm considering a residency (PGY1 and PGY2 potentially). In terms of clinical specialties, I'm most interested in psychiatric pharmacy. I just don't know what I want to do for sure. Does anyone have advice on picking a specialty, or any insight into the job outlook and job quality in psychiatric pharmacy compared to other specialties?

I'd recommend going to some of the big job sites like Indeed and doing a nationwide search for whatever you are interested in. You might not like what you see when you search for psychiatric pharmacist.
