During pharmacy school, you've hopefully been exposed to various advanced pharmacy practice experience opportunities where you had the opportunity to dive in clinically. Since each pharmacy school can be unique in the experiences they offer, your interviewers want to hear what your favorite rotation was and why it was so impactful.

"My favorite rotation so far was my ambulatory care rotation at Providence Hospital. My preceptor was really hands-on and was amazing to watch with the patients. I'll never forget how she explained insulin resistance to a patient and how it clicked for the patient in terms of her understanding about adhering to their medication. After watching and learning from her, I've really want to build rapport and make a difference for my patients in the same way."

For this question, speak openly and honestly about your favorite APPE rotation during pharmacy school. If possible, try to share a story about something you experienced during the rotation that you will bring with you to your residency training. Programs ask questions like this to see if your interests align with what they're offering, so try to match your answer with the specifics of the program you are interviewing with.
