Whether due to personal biases or general industry ethics, your interviewers want to hear you talk about an ethical dilemma you have faced to hear how you would handle any ethical dilemmas during your pharmacy fellowship training with them.

"Last year during residency training, I discovered a colleague breaching confidentiality with a client. This particular case had multiple clients and the lines were sometimes difficult to draw. I approached my colleague and offered another solution while suggesting they manage this client in a more professional manner. In the end, my colleague appreciated the feedback, and the concern was put to rest."

This question is best answered by using an example you faced during your time in pharmacy school or residency training. Be careful to not disclose any confidential information or say anything damaging about another person in the industry or another organization. Keep in mind that your interviewers will want to hear that you faced the dilemma head-on and did not let it impact the quality of the work you provided in the situation.
