💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

I want to learn something today, describe anything complicated, and break it down into a digestible format. Just as a pharmacist would describing a medication to someone. (It did not have to pharmacy related)
There are a lot of people who face disadvantages, both socially and economically. What are pharmacists doing now to help them and what could/should they be doing better.
Why Pharmacy, Why Touro

What was the most interesting question?

Situational question: The patient was wanted to take hydroxychloroquine to treat covid. However, it interacted with other medications they were taking. Would you dispense the medication?

What was the most difficult question?

I want you to look in your crystal ball and tell me what pharmacy will be like in ten years. They said we could not say technology because it was too easy of an answer lol.
