This is an example of a specific and unique question that is role-specific. If you are interviewing for a specialized role like this one, you want to speak specifically on what experience you have in a specialty area, this may include pharmacy school rotations if a new graduate, and why your skills match this unique role. This question is not designed to ask about your skills as a general pharmacist, it is to highlight your specialty training and specific qualifications within a defined scope.

My 27 years as a pharmacist have been in the retail setting; however, I look forward to engaging in new areas that would allow me to help my patients.

It's great that you have so much experience as a pharmacist! To further strengthen your answer, discuss any experience or knowledge you have about coumadin and diabetes in particular. Have you ever provided a patient with coumadin before? Do you interact with any patients who have diabetes? Have you learned anything about these topics in school or training? You want to appear as knowledgeable as you can in your response, as well as enthusiastic to learn more (and explain why this interests you). Good job!
