DC faces significant pharmacy access disparities, with Ward 2 having 36 licensed pharmacies compared to only 7 in Ward 7. Children in low-income households who are more likely to experience chronic health conditions have the weakest access to pharmacy services. What ethical obligations do pharmacists have when considering where to locate their practices in light of these geographic disparities?

Opinion (Ethics)

DC Medicaid pharmacy programs require prior authorization for many medications, with beneficiaries allowed only one expedited prior authorization per drug per 30 days. The pharmacy lock-in program restricts some beneficiaries to filling prescriptions at designated pharmacies only. These policies can create barriers to medication access. How should pharmacists balance supporting cost-control measures with advocating for patient access?

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HUCOP practice questions

How many questions are in the question bank?
HUCOP contains 150+ curated interview questions specifically selected to help you prepare. Questions cover all major types including fit, behavioral situational, ethical, policy, and quirky questions.
How do you come up with the questions?
Our questions are created by reviewing a wide range of information on real interview practices and identifying the themes emphasized across different formats and programs. We combine common recurring ideas into representative prompts and generate realistic scenarios based on common patterns. All questions are therefore either representative of commonly asked questions or original questions inspired by common themes. For school-specific banks, we develop original questions using publicly available information - such as curriculum focus, school values, and local policy considerations - to ensure each set is relevant. All questions are uniquely generated and are not copied or reproduced from any external source.
