Being able to identify different areas of study within clinical research is essential for researchers. When an interviewer asks a question like, 'do you know....,' or 'are you familiar...,' share the knowledge you have, but be careful not to embellish your knowledge with facts you are unsure of.

"Yes, I am familiar with pharmacokinetic studies. We always called them 'clinical pharmacology studies.' These trials are used to test the administration methods for a drug or treatment, its frequency, and safety."

"I do know about pharmacokinetic studies. They are sometimes referred to as clinical pharmacology studies. They usually involve between 20-80 healthy participants and are designed to test methods of administering the treatment (e.g., by mouth, injection, etc.) and how often, as well as the safety of the treatment."

If you understand pharmacokinetic studies, give a brief description to the interviewer. If you are unsure of the term, focus on being honest and telling the interviewer you are unfamiliar with it, but you would love to learn what it means.
