Current Events During Pharm Residency Interview

[Pharmacy2011]

I'm a fourth-year pharmacy student who is staying extremely busy with current rotations (and the amount of reading, studying, projects, and/or presentations required per rotation). Not including the emails I receive from APhA and ASHP, I have lost touch with the latest events relating to pharmacy. So far, I have three on-site residency interview offers! With regard to interviews past residents have had and/or current program directors conducted, what is the chance that I'll get asked questions relating to current events? If I do get asked a question I'm unable to answer, is it okay to say I do not know? In advance, thank you for your time!

Medscape, Journal Watch and Pharmacists Letter are things I use to stay sort of kind of up on the issues. Don't know if it would come up in an interview or not. I don't recall what we discussed in mine, sadly since it wasn't that long ago

If you don't know the answer the worst thing you could do is try to fudge it. The only option is to say you don't know.
