During your time with your pharmacy fellowship interview team, they will attempt to gain insight to your personality and personal life in a few different ways. By asking this question, they are looking to see if you are more than just a pharmacy robot and find out about one or two of the things that interest you outside of your work life.

"Throughout pharmacy school, I did try to take a little time for myself each week. I love sitting by the pool at my apartment, and I always have a book on hand when I'm out there. Lately, I've really come to enjoy reading American history. I'm currently reading, "With Malice Toward None: The Life of Abraham Lincoln," a biography on one of the greatest presidents in our history."

Talk openly and honestly about what you're currently reading outside of your schooling that gives some insight into your personal interests. It's okay if you aren't currently reading anything beyond your schoolwork; this can be normal for a busy pharmacy student. But you should ideally discuss something about what you like to read when you do have time and why it's interesting to you. You can discuss the last book you read if you aren't currently reading anything.
