In that field, I can use the knowledge I learned in my mom’s pharmacy to excel in this field.

From there, I began to explore more of what a career in pharmacy would mean and take the steps necessary to pursue my dream. As I reflect on the past and look forward, becoming a Doctor of Pharmacy is still the clear answer to achieving both my immediate and long-term goals. My immediate goal is to work towards additional education to be better equipped to utilize my undergraduate degree. In particular, I have a strong interest in applying my knowledge of biochemistry to the area of pharmacy in order to better understand how different medications work, how to help patients understand their medications, and how to solve problems to better care for patients. Ultimately, through achieving a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, I desire to develop a meaningful career that would allow for life-long learning and impacting lives.

In our experience with Pharmasim we learned that Marketing decision making must be very sensitive and responsive to everything going on in the industry which is very complex. Consumer responses to marketing tactics can be volatile and unpredictable and no idea is guaranteed to work well. Marketing is a matter of meticulous research, assumptions, planning, and volatility at times. Overall we took away two major points: 1) that it is important to consider the product lifecycle in evaluating how to promote businesses and, 2) that the “Sweet Spot” as a competitive advantage should be the greatest point of consideration when evaluating how to best gain leverage to beat the competition in the minds of

What does it take to be a pharmacist? Pharmacy involves more than just handing out drugs, otherwise anyone could do it. “A pharmacist is a health professional who follows instruction from physicians regarding the amount of education to distribute” (“Pharmacy requirements”). The pharmacy profession requires a lot of education, demands patience and attentive work, provides good pay, and offers a satisfying job.

My goal is to become a certified Pharmacy Technician. I am pursuing this goal by enrolling in West-Mec’s Pharmacy Technician program. A few requirements to getting a job as a Pharmacy Tech is that you have to be at least 18 years old with a high school diploma or a GED and have passed the Pharmacy Technician Certification Examination(PTCE) test and be licensed in your state.

My first reason I decide to do pharmacy, I want to help my mom, because she has the medical health issue. She has been taking some medication, but sometimes the medication she was taking will make her feel worse, and she will start thinking that she might have other illnesses, but I did not have an idea, that there are some medications can cause sides effect, and precautions in the body, until when I start the pharmacy program, then I begin to discover more information about the medications and how it works in the body. The second reason is; before I started this pharmacy program at Carrington College, I was taking my prerequisites class at Pima College, because my goal was to go in the career of pharmacy, but I wasn't sure if that is what

Going to college was always an important aspect to me. Coming from a home where the highest level of education was a GED, making something of myself has been a substantial goal that I’ve always yearned. When I was in the 8th grade, I was determined to become a veterinarian. It’s become somewhat apart of who I am. Going to college means that I’m one step closer to progressing to my goal. My goal to actually make something of myself that no one thought I could legitimately achieve.

The Pharmaceutical industry has been in the spotlight for decades due to the fact that they have a reputation for being unethical in its marketing strategies. In The Washington Post Shannon Brownlee (2008) states, “We try never to forget that medicine is for the people. It is not for the profits. The profits follow.” This honorable statement is completely lost in today’s world of pharmaceutical marketing tactics. These tactics are often deceptive and biased. Big Pharma consistently forgets their moral purpose and focuses primarily on the almighty dollar. Big Pharma is working on restoring their reputation by reforming their ethical code of conduct.

I have chosen to spend the next four years of my life in college simply because I want to have a steady job and be successful throughout the course of my life. By going to college I can refine my skills in the area of work in which I would like to pursue. College is a good experience because you can meet people from a large variety of places and cultures. You also learn life lessons about living under a roof where your parents aren’t there to do everything for you.

Treating the epidemic: Identification of questionable prescribing and dispensing patterns through results obtained from a one year state-run pilot program, aimed at developing a “standardized peer review process and methodology to review and evaluate prescribing and pharmacy dispensing ” (Foster B. et al., 2017) patterns in the state. Expansion of health care specialties with authority to prescribe treatment drugs to people abusing prescription drugs and availability of naloxone without prescription is also proposed.

Going to college was one of the biggest choices I’ve made in my life so far. The doors that have and will open will change my path for the better but choosing which door to take was not so easy. All these choices, all these opportunities I didn’t what to do but in the end choosing to go to the University of North Texas at Dallas was the choice I made for several reasons.

For me, choosing to pursue a career in pharmacy was far from planned. I knew that I wanted to find a profession which I could find self fulfilling. So, one could say I knew as much about pharmacy and its history as an average person. I’ve always imagined that pharmacy and the entire profession as a whole was relatively modern. In other words, I never really took pharmacy as a profession with a history. I’ve always thought that pharmacy and medicine, as one, essentially made its largest strides with the technology boom of the 21st century. During my visit, I realized I was both right, but also, wrong in a sense.
