Can you summarize your CV for us?
At this point in your pharmacy career, your CV is in the process of being built as you look to enter residency training. To get a better feel for the path that led you to this point, your interviewers want you to simply walk them through your CV. This does not mean you should cover your CV line-by-line.
"While in pharmacy school, I was involved in several different ways. For the last two years, I worked as an intern at my local Walgreens. This experience provided hands-on training, especially during COVID. Additionally, I served as the class president during my P3 year and worked to collaborate with students and faculty. This experience enhanced my communication and leadership skills, as I learned to work with and listen to everyone around me. Lastly, I did a series of 3 APPE rotations at UCLA and received high-end training in both acute and ambulatory care rotations, but I was really engaged and excited about my psychiatric care rotation. It really changed my perspective, which is why I'm applying for residencies with a focus on psychiatric care."
This is an opportunity to highlight 2-3 key experiences of your time during pharmacy school and elaborate beyond your concise CV. Depending on the specific program, you'll want to highlight things they are looking for--whether that's research, leadership, presentations, or work experience--that will be relevant to your success in their Pharmacy Residency program.
