Interview with an applicant

I am a member of a committee that interviews applicants for vacancies in our department.

Just recently, we interviewed a pharmacist who was previously employed in another hospital. As I went over her resume, I learned that she had finished a sponsored clinical pharmacy course.

Knowing that the sponsored course aimed at assisting other hospitals to get started with their clinical pharmacy service, I asked why she resigned from the hospital pharmacy and got herself a job in a non-government agency involved in iradicating tuberculosis in the country.

As we listened to what she was saying, we got the impression that her former colleagues were not as interested and eager as she was in pursuing a clinical pharmacy practice in their hospital. She said that was one of the reasons why she resigned.
As I write this post, I still wonder if her former colleagues are among the members of the PSHP who can say that they "have led in blazing new paths in hospital pharmacy management and originated clinical pharmacy programs that are recognized in Asia."*
