What three things would you do on your first day as a pharmacy fellow with our program?
Being prepared and having a plan of attack as a new pharmacy fellow is a vital skill to prove to your interviewers. With this question, your interviewers want to hear that you have an initial plan for what you want to accomplish on your first day in training with their program.
"On my first day as a fellow, I would first introduce myself to my fellow colleagues and preceptors. We are all embarking on the same journey together, and I hope to develop community and comradery with those I would be working most closely with. Next, I would want to familiarize myself with a brand new facility and see my workspace. Learning and knowing the lab space would be vital as well on my first day. Last, I would want to formulate a plan for what the first three months would look like during training and get a schedule coordinated as best as possible."
Talk about what you would do and who you would want to meet on your first day. Discuss how you would do these three things and why they're important. Some points to touch on can include building key relationships, familiarizing yourself with the work site, and diving into the coursework and training.
