Ask The Interviewer
2. This concludes our interview. Do you have any questions for us?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
The interviewers want to make sure that all of your questions about the university or pharmacy program are answered during the interview. It is best to ask at least a question or two, showing the interviewers your eagerness to learn all you can. Of course, you want to review the admission requirements and research Temple University beforehand so you are not asking questions that could be found during your research.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022
Focus Your Answer On
Focus on asking questions specific to the university, culture, or pharmacy program. Examples of good questions are asking the interviewers how you performed in the interview or if you need to clarify anything, asking what the interviewers like most about working at Temple University, or if they have any hesitancy about choosing you as a candidate. To make yourself stand out, thank the interviewers at the beginning of your response for letting you ask questions. They will think that it is respectful and it shows you have good manners.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022

4. When you suffer a setback, how does that emotionally affect you and your work?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
Everyone handles the stress and disappointment of setbacks differently. When you work in the medical field, those setbacks can be amplified.

Written by Rachelle Enns on October 31st, 2022
Focus Your Answer On
The interviewers want to hear that you can handle setbacks with poise and maturity. You may encounter setbacks during your studies at Temple University, and the interviewers want to know that you can move forward while using your critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

I understand that setbacks happen to everyone - despite their level of expertise or years of experience. If I experience a major setback, I will take a few moments to debrief internally, get some fresh air if possible, or discuss what I could have done differently with a mentor. Then, I move on. Rather than dwell on my mistakes, I choose to learn from them."

7. Explain your understanding of the day to day responsibilities of a pharmacist.
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
The interviewers want to know that you have a realistic idea of what your career will look like once you've completed the pharmacy program at Temple University. It's important to understand that you may not be exactly where you want to be immediately after graduating. Show the interviewers that you have a realistic understanding of what your day-to-day life will look like once you have graduated.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022

At this point in your career path to becoming a pharmacist, you should have a firm grasp of what duties a pharmacist is responsible for. If you need help understanding what day-to-day life looks like as a pharmacist, be sure to research a pharmacist's responsibilities before your interview.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022
Answer Example
"I understand that my day-to-day responsibilities as a pharmacist will include speaking with customers, helping them understand their prescription dosages, and answering many of the same questions. I know it won't always be glamorous, and it can be physically taxing as there is a lot of standing during the day. With that said, I look forward to coaching my customers on proper drug use and dosages and creating lasting relationships with those in the community where I work."

8. How would you react if you discovered a classmate cheating?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
This honesty-based question is meant to test your character and reveal how you deal with awkward or uncomfortable situations. If you have found yourself in a situation like this, you can draw on that story for your reply. Be careful not to name any names or throw anyone under the bus, as you can rarely recover from unsavory behavior like that in an interview.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022
Focus Your Answer On
There are only two ways to answer this question. First, you can approach the classmate privately and tell them what you saw, giving them a chance to explain themselves. If they were cheating, you could give them the ultimatum to approach your professor, or you will do so. Secondly, you can avoid a confrontation with your classmate and go straight to the professor with your findings. How you respond depends on your personality, morals, and values.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022
Answer Example
"I believe an honorable person will do what is right even when nobody is looking. The pharmaceutical industry deserves only honorable graduates. For that reason, I would tell a superior if I found a classmate cheating."

9. How has COVID-19 and other pandemics of the past impacted the profession of a pharmacist?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
Many pharma professionals are discussing the 'COVID-ified future' of pharmaceuticals. The interviewers want evidence that you maintain an interest in current events and other conversations that may impact your future as a pharmacist. Discuss what you know about the impact of health pandemics and how they leave an imprint on the pharmaceutical profession.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022
Focus Your Answer On
Since the world has been in a pandemic for the past few years, the interviewers expect you to be up-to-date on current events and how the pandemic has affected the pharmaceutical industry. Explain what you have learned and how it is affecting pharmacists all over the world.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022
Answer Example
"COVID-19 and other pandemics have left a significant impact on the pharmaceutical profession, including how we provide medications to patients, the increased demand for particular meds, the risk put on support staff, and a gap in PPE supply and demand. One significant impact that has interested me most is how we dispense medications, ranking particular meds based on importance. During COVID-19, pharmacists have experienced detrimental drug shortages due to manufacturing and transportation challenges. In the future, pharmacists will have to revisit their distribution model and how they approach collaborating with biotech and pharmaceutical companies. I look forward to learning about the long-term impact as I dive deeper into the pharmaceutical profession."

11. If you could meet anyone in the history of medicine, who would you choose and why?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
This is more of a personal interest question, making it tough to give a wrong answer. Think back to any of the 'founding fathers' (and mothers!) of medicine. There may be someone who has a story that resonates with you the most. Perhaps that person discovered/created/invented something that you admire. It's also a great idea to think of the most burning question you would have for that individual. Be sure to add passion to your answer so the interviewers can sense your genuine interest.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022
Focus Your Answer On
Focus on choosing one person in the history of medicine you admire the most. While there may be many people in the history of medicine you would like to meet, the interviewers want you to choose one that stands out to you the most.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022
Answer Example
"If I could meet anyone in the history of medicine, I would go back to the very beginning and meet Hippocrates. I find it fascinating that he was the first person ever to believe that disease and death were not a result of the anger of the Gods. I would ask him what that first conversation sounded like when he first said to others that disease is not caused by superstitious belief. He would have had to have faced so many roadblocks, yet, he continued to believe in his work."

12. Walk us through your approach to studying for exams.
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
The greater your academic performance, the better the university's metrics will be. For this reason, the interviewers want to choose pharmacy students who will be diligent in their studies and perform well on exams.
Perhaps you create your own study aids. You may prefer to prepare for exams in a group setting. Whatever your approach, take the time to walk the interviewers through your process while providing as much detail as possible.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022
Focus Your Answer On
There is no incorrect answer unless you do not have a systematic method to study for exams. The interviewers want to choose candidates who have proven study methods and who will be diligent students.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022
Answer Example
"I am a well-organized student and have devised a plan that works very well for me. When I prepare for an exam, I map out the content I need to learn and divide that content over the number of days I have available to prepare. When I create a study calendar, I leave the final three days leading up to the exam to review the entire library of content. I am a big fan of study aids, as I believe they work much better than simply reading and re-reading the materials. Aids such as flashcards are much more helpful to me than highlighting my notes. I also create practice problems and, when possible, will pair up with a fellow student to test each other in written form or verbal lightning rounds. My approach has been successful, as reflected in my overall GPA."

13. When you become a pharmacist, how will you improve the profession?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
The interviewers want to see evidence that you plan on making a positive and lasting impact on the pharmaceutical profession. To provide a memorable response, be as specific as possible. Perhaps you desire to work with a particular population or community. Maybe your vow as a pharmacist is to teach your patients about proper dosing. Discuss with passion and enthusiasm how you plan to improve the pharmaceutical profession and use your knowledge for the greater good.
Written by Rachelle Enns on October 31st, 2022
Focus Your Answer On
While explaining how you will improve the pharmaceutical profession, you want to avoid appearing arrogant or saying anything disparaging about pharmacists currently working in the industry. If you speak poorly of others or act cocky, the interviewers will choose another candidate for the pharmacy program.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022
Answer Example
"I have chosen to become a pharmacist because of the broad impact I can make on my patients, their families, and my community as a whole. Being a pharmacist is much more than dispensing medication. It's a career where I can get to know many of my patients on a closer level since they will visit me regularly for prescription refills. I can educate my patients on proper dosing, which impacts their day, including side-effect management, appetite levels, sleep quality, and even mental clarity. As a pharmacist, I will improve the profession by bringing this whole-health knowledge and mindset to my patients. When my patients feel motivated and empowered to take their entire health into their hands, it will create a trickle-down effect in other aspects of their lives, including their family members' well-being. This ripple will help create greater respect for proper medicating, improve how the public views our profession, and highlight how patients can rely on a pharmacist to help them manage their health."

Show the interviewers that you rely on reputable sources for your information and remain actively involved in the conversations that affect your future career as a pharmacist. Share some details surrounding an industry-related article you recently read, being ready to discuss what you found most interesting.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022

The article that caught my eye discussed how Pfizer and BioNTech are due to supply the U.S. with 100 million additional doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, totaling the number of doses to 200 million. I was quite interested to hear that the government has agreed to pay $1.95 billion for these additional doses. Of course, the hope is that these additional doses will help us to protect more individuals and end this pandemic more rapidly."

Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022

I have researched this social issue a great deal. I know that some of the signs include a patient being adamant about receiving a certain brand of drug, doctor-hopping, and even forging doctor's prescriptions.

21. Why are you choosing to become a pharmacist over other medical professions?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
With so many career options available in the healthcare realm, the interviewers would like to know precisely why you have chosen to pursue a career as a pharmacist. The more specific you can be in your response, the more genuine your reply will feel. When you think about the pharmaceutical industry compared to other healthcare professions, be clear about what factors pushed you to focus on pharma. This question is an excellent opportunity to tell a brief story of the factors that prompted your keen interest in becoming a pharmacist.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022
Focus Your Answer On
Now is an excellent time to share a personal story of why you chose to pursue a career as a pharmacist over other medical professions. Perhaps a family member is a pharmacist, or you have a professor or guidance counselor who told you that you would be perfect for this career. Whatever your reason for becoming a pharmacist, the interviewers genuinely want to know what inspired you to choose this career path.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022
Answer Example
"There are many rewarding professions that I could have pursued within the healthcare industry; however, I specifically chose to become a pharmacist because I have experienced firsthand how the care and attention of a diligent pharmacist can change a person's life. From a young age, I had severe environmental and drug-related allergies. I suffered for years from headaches and ear infections and often reacted to medications prescribed to me. It wasn't until I visited a highly attentive pharmacist that I was told some of my health issues might be due to medication sensitivities. I returned to my family doctor, who referred me to an allergist. Ultimately, these medical professionals put me on the right self-care plan while alleviating many of my long-term symptoms. I already knew I wanted to work in the medical industry; however, this experience prompted me to look further into this profession. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to learn more about medications and help my future clients transform their health through proper prescribing and dosing."

24. What are your thoughts on alternative medicine? Which aspects do you agree and disagree with?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
Alternative medicine can be a controversial subject. Some healthcare professionals love it, some are highly skeptical, and some people's opinions land somewhere in the middle.
Just like you would answer a sensitive question surrounding politics or religion, it's best to support both sides in some aspect when delivering your response. If you plan to voice a highly one-sided opinion, be prepared to give substantial evidence-based thoughts supporting your viewpoint.
Written by Rachelle Enns on October 31st, 2022
Focus Your Answer On
This is a two-part question, and the interviewers want to hear your thoughts on both. Be sure to answer what parts of alternative medicine you agree with and which you disagree with, providing examples to support both.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022
Answer Example
"Although I am a supporter of traditional medicine, I do understand that alternative medicine can offer great benefits for some. I agree that there is a science behind alternative medicine; however, alternative medicine should be more strictly regulated. People need to educate themselves better before jumping into 'all-natural' therapy. Prescribed teas and herbs can be dangerous if taken in the wrong dosages. Even though it is natural, it doesn't mean your body will like it. Just like with all types of medicine and practices, research and education are very important."

Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
Your life's inspiration can come from a book, a mentor, your family, a celebrity, an author - literally anyone! However, the interviewers want to hear of someone who inspires you, not a book or fictional character. Talk to the interviewers about who has inspired your life and why.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022

Focus on describing a person that will not be controversial to the interviewers. For example, suppose you use a religious or political figure that inspires and motivates you. In that case, you may offend interviewers who do not have the same religious or political beliefs as you.
Written by Krista Wenz on October 31st, 2022
Answer Example
"I find inspiration in a variety of people and things. I would have to say that the person who has most greatly inspired me has been my grandmother. She always had a smile on her face no matter how hard she worked, and she loved everyone. She was well respected and always gave more than she received. I try to live like her as much as I can."

"I have formed a three-pronged plan to tackle the stressors that may arise during my pharmaceutical program.

For academic stress, I plan to create a study schedule that I will stick to closely. I will join study groups to help me gain a broader perspective from others, and I have made arrangements for a part-time tutor if needed. For the strain that will result from uprooting myself, I have planned to join a couple of university clubs to get to know other students and make new friends, avoiding feelings of loneliness. I also plan to FaceTime my family every week to prevent myself from feeling homesick. The financial commitment of becoming a pharmacist is a reality that I have come to terms with. I have created a solid financial plan to pay back my loans, and I enlisted a financial advisor to help me create a student budget that I will adhere to closely.
