Below are tips and best practices in preparing for the application process and setting yourself apart!  \nPlan A may not always work out-Creating a Plan B is Essential  \nPerhaps you didn’t match for a residency or fellowship, a job interview didn’t go well, or the role you have now isn’t what you thought it would be. Here are some next steps to consider:  \n• Engage your contacts (AMCP diplomats, pharmacy school faculty, mentors working in managed care, AMCP Conference Buddy); leverage their existing networks  \n• How you follow up with a contact is important; be clear in what your ask is and how they can support you  \n• Research managed care organizations in your area. Identify points of contact and gauge potential for shadowing opportunities or scheduling time with managed care pharmacists  \n• Familiarize yourself with key players in managed care (PBMs, health plans, manufacturers, etc.) and how pharmacist roles differ between organizations  \n• Ensure your understanding of relevant concepts and terminology; think at a higher level and convert mindset to managed care thought processes (examples below)  \n• Utilize resources like AMCP to stay informed on current pharmacy issues/trends and continue to expand your professional network; seek out local and national opportunities todo so  \nPreparing for an Interview and Setting Yourself Up for Success  \n• Create or update your LinkedIn profile.  \no Fill out every section in your profile. Completeness is important and increases visibility  \no Choose a clear, friendly, and professional photo  \no Ensure your experience section highlights your accomplishments (what you did, how well you did it, who it impacted)  \n• Participate in mock interviews and seek feedback on ways to improve how you answer questions, nonverbal communication, etc.  \n• Make your passion clear! Show your enthusiasm at all stages of the interview process, from initial conversations with recruiters to thoughtful handwritten (emailed when appropriate) thank you notes  \n• If the role requires a cover letter with the application, articulate why YOU are right for the role, instead of reiterating your CV and praising the company  \n• Highlight any managed care experience in your CV (shadowing, posters/publications, rotations or projects within rotations like P&T, drug monographs, journal clubs, MTM experience)  \n• Even if you do not have significant managed care experience, be strategic in applying what you do have directly to job descriptions, frame examples to align with managed care concepts  \nHOW CAN I APPLY MY CLINICAL EXPERIENCE TO MANAGED CARE?  \n\n| Transferable Experience, Knowledge or Skills Gained in a Clinical Setting | Applicable Opportunities in Managed Care |\n| --- | --- |\n| Research, presentations, and writing samples completed during pharmacy school or rotations | Identifying specific populations and how new policies or formulary changes will impact those populations |\n| Struggles, pitfalls or problems with drug delivery systems and administration protocols | Recognition of and/or improvement in delivery/administration deficiencies; identification of additional indirect treatment costs |\n| Interdisciplinary provider perceptionsand perspectives of formulary weaknesses and strengths | P&T and formulary management processes and concepts employed by hospitals are very similar to their managed care counterparts and easily transferable; any additional insight into provider mindsets is unique and of added value to the team |\n| Experience (extensive or intermittent) with and knowledge (intimate or passing) of various drugs, side e","cbCaiig5PS0NYXWB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiig5PS0NYXWB","pdf",160154,"English","# Plan A may not always work out - Creating a Plan B is Essential\n## Preparing for an Interview and Setting Yourself Up for Success\n# How can I apply my clinical experience to managed care?","[{\"question\":\"How can I create a Plan B when I don’t match into a residency or fellowship?\",\"answer\":\"Engage your contacts through AMCP diplomats, faculty, mentors, and conference buddies; follow up clearly on what you need and how they can support you.
