Every specialty will have a slightly different day in the life of a resident. The interviewers want to see that you have done your homework and understand your daily life as a pediatric pharmacy resident. Some programs describe what a resident's day looks like on their website. If the program you applied to does not have that information, speak with former or current fellows and residents or visit the university or medical center and talk to the program directors. It would be best if you understood what your day entails before starting the program so there are no surprises.

"After speaking with a former resident of your program, I have a good understanding of the daily life of a resident. When I arrive at 7:00 a.m., I will sign into my workstation and review my patient's charts for half an hour. I will then go to the central pharmacy, retrieve the team mobile phone, and return to my workstation for an in-depth chart review and to work on pharmacy consults. After reviewing the charts, I will discuss interventions I would make with my preceptor. I will then attend rounds for approximately two hours. After lunch, I will attend the daily safety meeting and complete my rounds until my shift ends at 4 p.m."
