During your time in pharmacy school, you hopefully participated in journal clubs to help you critically evaluate pharmacological literature. While this is a very open-ended question that you could take in any direction, your interviewers ideally want to hear you discuss what you learned during your time in journal clubs that you can bring to the table as a resident with their program.

"I recently did a journal club presentation on low-dose edoxaban in elderly patients. Studies show that a once-daily dose, between 15 and 30 mg, can help in preventing stroke or systemic embolism without evidence of significant bleeding. Going forward, I will want to keep this in mind when working with elderly patients, especially those at risk for atrial complications."

This is time to share about what you learned during your presentation(s), who you presented to, and why you chose the topic (if it wasn't assigned). Be sure to discuss how this will impact your work going forward as a Pharmacy Resident.
