"At my retirement party, I hope my colleagues remember me for my kindness, caring approach toward my patients, and being a team player. I hope that after a 35-year career, I can walk away knowing I made a difference in the lives of both my patients and my coworkers. I want to know I made a positive impact on my pharmacy team and interdepartmental teams. It's my goal to say I played a role in mentoring the next generation of pharmacists and left a good impression on them for the future."

Prior to your Pharmacy Residency interviews, put some thought into the things that make you a memorable teammate and colleague and come to your interview ready to discuss those qualities. If you have examples of direct feedback that you've received from your coworkers, student colleagues, or professors, don't hesitate to talk about them. However you decide to answer, make sure you leave a distinct mark on your interviewers.
