I was looking over some past interview questions and came across these three which I have no idea. I would greatly appreciate if someone can help me out here! 🙂


1. What would you do if you wanted to implement a diabetes education program and the community doctors were against it?

2. What do you think of legislation banning the sale of syringes without a prescription?

3. If a doctor comes in with a prescription, will you dispense?

first of all, why would doctors be against a diabetes education program in the first place?

On the second question, are they concerned that people would use syringes for drugs?

I am guessing that they are worried about doctors abusing drugs? I know the interviewers are not looking for correct answers, but I am just curious what real pharmacists would do in this situation.

Thanks in advance!

You need to come up with your own answers, my friend. Those feedback questions are only there to help you get an idea of what kind of questions there are in the interview.

Real pharmacists would do different things depending on ALL of the factors involved. If you get these questions in the interview, explain the environment and the situation in which these things would occur and then explain your logic in what you would do.

This is about being logical and clear with your answers. There is no magic answer. There's no harm in keeping up with political/legal issues in pharmacy, either...it'll probably make you calmer if you're asked something like that.
