Every day there are exciting headlines on innovative breakthroughs in medicine. So your interviewers a looking to evaluate your level of interest in continually learning your craft.
While sharing how you stay up to date on all research developments, trending news, breakthroughs, social concerns, and more, make sure you read through the news pages on their website.
"MCPHS News is Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences' go-to source for all news related to the University. From inside the classroom to the broader health sciences community, we are your first stop for stories related to all things MCPHS."
In addition to any conversation this can generate, mention the medical journals you like to refer to. It's also not a bad idea to ask the sources your interviewers used to stay in touch on pharma-related current events.
