    AbstractPharmacy directors of 126 Alberta Hospitals were sent a survey requesting information on their attitudes and hiring practices of residency graduates. Sixty completed surveys were returned for a response rate of 48 percent. Seventy percent of the directors indicated that completion of a residency program was a favourable prerequisite prior to hiring. However, pharmacists with previous hospital experience were ranked with a higher preference for hiring than pharmacists with only a residency certificate. The main reason for directors hiring residency graduates was their comprehensive hospital pharmacy background. The initial starting salary for residents was equivalent to a starting salary for a pharmacist with one to two years of previous hospital experience. A residency certificate was not seen as a requisite for the director's position by the majority of the directors.
