Interviewing for Retail If Residency Is Your Goal

My goal is to obtain a residency, but I also currently work for a chain retail store as an intern and was asked to schedule an interview for a pharmacist position. How do I respond if I am asked if I plan to pursue residency? This is a new manager I have never met before (my last manager claimed he would hire me even if my goal was residency). I don't want to lie, but I am concerned about being honest and not receiving and offer. If I don't match, I don't want to be high and dry without a job.
