The interviewer asks this question to understand which internship program interests you. They may already know from your application, but they want to ensure you are interviewing for the correct internship.

On the CVS website, they list the different types of internship programs. The most common for pharmacy students is the CVS Community Internship, which is likely the one you applied to. They also list summer internship programs for interns to enhance their skills and knowledge, such as the Spanish Immersion Summer Internship, Leadership Summer Internship, and Caremark, Managed Care Summer Internship.

If you are a pharmacy student looking to reinforce your classroom knowledge, experience-centric learning, and learn how to manage and lead a pharmacy team upon graduation, focus on telling the interviewer you are interested in the CVS Community Internship. If you are already a CVS Pharmacy Intern, describe the summer internship you are interested in.
