Compounding pharmacies make drugs prescribed by doctors for specific patients with needs that can't be met by commercially available drugs. Your CV may list your experience, but the interviewer may not have read it or may want to dive further into your experience. Give an overview of your history working in a compounding pharmacy, including specific duties or responsibilities you carried out in that role.

"While I do not have experience working in a compounding pharmacy, it has always been an area of interest for me. I did learn about it in my training, and I've done some of my own research to learn more. I know that a large part of the role requires the preparation of various sterile compounds, such as chemotherapy medications, and I'd love to be a part of such a significant process that helps those suffering from cancer. I'm a very quick learner and would love to train in this area of pharmacy."

"I have experience working at the hospital pharmacy where I provided oversight and management of regulatory requirements of sterile and non-sterile compounding in the facility. I would participate in annual media fill compounding assessments for all employees and would coordinate and conduct environmental testing and air sampling to ensure we were adhering to all standards. Because of my seniority, I would also conduct staff remediation and retraining as needed."
