How would you define pharmacokinetics?
Pharmacokinetics is the branch of pharmacology concerned with the movement of drugs within the body. On average, infants and children often metabolize medications faster than adults. As a future pediatric pharmacist, you should know the definition of pharmacokinetics and how it applies to the pediatric population. The interviewers ask questions like these to gauge your competency level and communication skills.
"Pharmacokinetics is the branch of pharmacology concerned with how drugs move within the body. Typically, infants and children often metabolize medications faster than adults. As children age, their pharmacokinetics change, so it is essential that pediatric pharmacists research the pharmacokinetics of each medication before prescribing them."
