Evolution in the pharmacy practice is inevitable. New drugs are approved on an almost daily basis, technology continues to change, and regulations and billing codes evolve over time. In this question, your interviewers want to see if you're staying up to date on current trends in pharmacy and healthcare.

"I recently read an article by MIT about the Global Macroeconomic implications of COVID. Living through this as a pharmacy student over the last 2 years has been eye-opening, especially as a student, and it will be interesting to see the impacts this virus has both in the US and globally for years to come. COVID's effects on healthcare are obviously paramount, yet the virus will make some huge economic impacts as well. It is interesting to see the domino effect and how important access to healthcare is."
