In this book, we hear from an ambulatory care residency applicant who went from being dead set against residency to having an unexpected quarter-life crisis and entering the residency playing field against all odds. The letter of intent, or LOI, was the most potent tool Callie Abramowitz used to set her up for success and eventually go seven for seven with residency interview invites.

Like a cover letter, the LOI is a specific writing tool commonly used in conjunction with your CV to illustrate your personal story, best features, and ways in which you are the best match for a specific program to land an interview. While the LOI is a required document for most pharmacy residency applications, this book will help you navigate the all-important LOI for a specific type of pharmacy practice, in this case, ambulatory care pharmacy.

While many applicants send applications to a dozen or more sites, Callie's emphasis was on making absolutely sure every place she applied was a place she would want to do a residency. By having such a laser focus, as with her competitive ice skating career, Callie could compete in a challenging flight of pharmacy residency applicants, despite fighting internal challenges along the way that had her skating on thin ice at times.

Most books will tell you how to do a letter of intent, and Tony Guerra provides the soup to nuts of doing just that in this book. However, this book brings you into the residency application process's whirlwind with Callie Abramowitz and helps you see what you need to do to come out on the other side. If you want Tony Guerra to be one of the people by your side during residency season, he provides individual one-on-one help that you can learn more about in the book.
