As your interviewers speak with a large pool of candidates hoping to match into their pharmacy fellowship program, they'll look to get to know you a bit better to gauge your fit with the staff at the training site. This question puts the onus on you to give another sales pitch about yourself.

"I'm currently in process of completing an awesome residency in oncology. While in pharmacy school, I was vice president of my school's APhA chapter, served as a student ambassador, and worked at CVS. The most impactful experience I had during my training was training in one of the largest cancer centers in the country and seeing the impact that the right treatments could have on the lives of patients. I'm pursuing translational sciences to help further research in the cancer treatments of tomorrow."

The best way to answer this question is with the present/past/future formula. Discuss where you are now, how you got there, and how this fellowship will help you get to where you want to be. Things such as fluency in another language can always be mentioned here too, but this is not a time to discuss personal topics like hobbies, marital status, religion, etc.
