Doing your homework and research ahead of the interview can pay dividends when you are sitting with your Pharmacy Residency program interviewers. They're ideally looking to hear that you've done that homework and that you have a good feel for what a typical day looks like with their program.

"I know every day will be different as a resident, but I imagine I'll start the day off with rounds. I've had the opportunity to go on rounds before and have learned a lot from both the pharmacy residents and medical residents. Following rounds and depending on my rotations, I imagine there will be meetings and patient interactions. I know there will also be times I'll be in the basement pharmacy. One thing that draws me to your program is the variety and flexibility of rotations. I understand I will also work on projects, but the main "meat and potatoes" of my job will be meetings and patient appointments."

This is a chance to talk about what you know about the specific program. Discuss what you imagine the day-to-day in this program is like after you conduct your research on the program and the curriculum. If you need to, don't hesitate to ask for clarification about the program from your interviewer. This shows you've taken the time to really think about their program.
