After finishing eight years of schooling to obtain a Pharm. D. degree, most new pharmacists are ready to hit the workforce. Those who pursue additional residency training are often the most motivated to further specialize their career and your interviewer wants to hear you talk about those motivations and aspirations from your perspective. They're essentially looking to hear that you see their program as a great fit for achieving your overall goals, so make sure that you highlight which aspects of their program speak the loudest to you.

"Over the last year of my pharmacy program, I really focused my studies and pursued residency training to obtain a future in transplant pharmacy. Patients receiving life-changing transplants in GI, thoracic, and cardiology often require the most intensive care and treatment and I'm looking forward to a future of being a part of those care teams. During my PGY-2 year with your program, I would really look forward to working closely with your abdominal and lung transplant team, while also gaining more experience in the trauma and life support centers at this amazing hospital. Hearing more about the program today, I'm confident that this would be a great fit for me as a person and toward helping me achieve my future career goals."
