From their website, "The mission of the Department of Pharmacy Practice is to develop excellence in the profession through integration of didactic, experiential and postgraduate education. The mission of Midwestern University College of Pharmacy is to advance the profession of pharmacy by educating future and current pharmacists, engaging in scholarship and research, and maximizing health outcomes through patient care and public service in a culturally diverse society."

If you look at the bios of all the pharmacy instructors at the Midwestern University Colleges of Pharmacy, you'll notice they all offer didactic courses as part of their curriculum. Your expectations should be clear from the onset. The interviewers want to know how aligned your values are with what their college has to offer and if you intend to make a positive or lasting impact on the pharmaceutical profession. To provide a memorable response, be as specific as possible. Passionately and enthusiastically discuss how you plan to improve the pharmaceutical profession and use your knowledge for the greater good. By showcasing the level of research you've performed, you'll be well equipped with questions to ask your admissions interviewer when the time comes.

As they state on their site, "Beyond community pharmacy -- where approximately 60% of pharmacists practice -- your diversity of pharmacy career options includes counseling, preventive medicine, wellness programs, patient education, technical writing or editing, retail or chain pharmacy ownership or management, or pharmacy practice within hospitals, nursing homes, extended care facilities, neighborhood health centers, health maintenance organizations, managed care pharmacies, or government service, as well as pharmaceutical industry research, sales, administration, or marketing. You may also combine your love of teaching, research, and public service by becoming a faculty member."
