Pharmacy schools across the country completed their 2025 Phase I and Phase II residency matches for new or upcoming graduates of their Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) programs. The University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy again exceeded last year’s match rate for pharmacy residencies and continues to have the highest match rate in Texas.
"This has been a great year for our students and is reflective of the quality of our program," said Dr. Diane Ginsburg, Associate Dean for Healthcare Partnerships. "Not only do we maintain consistently high match placement rates, but the quality of those placements and the size of our graduating class make me especially proud."
According to the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists' 2025 Pharmacy Residency Match results, The University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy placed 93% of its upcoming graduates, compared to the national match placement average of 81%.
The UT College of Pharmacy, in conjunction with facilities throughout Texas and beyond, provides a variety of outstanding Postgraduate Year One (PGY1) and Postgraduate Year Two (PGY2) Practice Residencies in Pharmacy Practice, Community-based Practice, Ambulatory Care, Internal Medicine and many more. The residency process is important to providing additional education and experience in the pharmacy profession and assures good career footing for UT Pharmacy graduates at the start of their careers.
Residency match rates are one of many indicators demonstrating the quality of a pharmacy education and the institution-wide support system that program includes. Many other talented Pharm.D. graduates choose other career paths with their degrees aside from residency, often joining the workforce directly and pursuing a direct path into community pharmacy or other opportunities.
