At Temple University, we look for students with a true passion for medicine. What appeals to you most about working in the pharmaceutical field?
The interviewers would like to understand what drives your pursuit of a career as a pharmacist. Your core passion is what will keep you going on the toughest days at Temple University. For the interviewers to understand how to motivate you, they need to know what fires you up!
"There are several factors that drive my passion for a career in the area of pharmaceuticals. If I had to pinpoint one main driver, helping others through chronic pain or debilitating disease management is the most significant. Everyone deserves access to important medications, and I plan to live that mantra by being the best at what I do, and giving my all to my patients/customers, every day."
It is okay to share a personal story when answering this question. Perhaps you can discuss what initiated your interest in becoming a pharmacist, to begin with. Whatever drives you, make sure the interviewers can feel your passion.
