The interviewers want to see that you are keenly interested in continually learning your craft, as the drug and pharma industry is ever-changing! Talk about how you stay updated on industry trends, breakthroughs, social concerns, and more.
List a few medical journals you like to read and discuss how often you dive into pharma-related news. Some of the most popular and well-regarded pharmaceutical journals and publications include The Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics, Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. Additionally, you might prefer to read Pharmacy Times, Drug Topics, or Medscape for industry news and updates. Or perhaps you follow certain social media accounts, blogs, or podcasts.
It's also a great idea to ask the interviewers about their favorite ways to stay in touch on pharma-related current events. Asking this question in return can make for great dialogue, and you never know what you will learn!
