This letter is written in strong support of Julia Barbour for acceptance to pharmacy school. I have known Julia since winter of 2014 when she was enrolled in my Life 101 (PharmSci 42) class. The following summer she was recruited for my laboratory based on her academic strength and her talent for giving presentations. Upon joining the lab, Julia immediately displayed sharp critical thinking skills and learned new procedures quickly. She was trained by one of my best students and has followed in his footsteps; taking on new responsibilities with ease. My students work very independently compared to other undergraduate students. They must have a high degree of personal responsibility and a strong commitment to learning. Julia's intellectual
Dr. Arlett Seijo Perez has been working in a pharmacy since she was 18 years old, first as a pharmacy technician, and then for the last 35 years she has been working as a valuable pharmacist. While working as a technician, with the help and guidance of Michael Escudero, which at that time was her manager, she decided to apply to pharmacy school. She graduated from Nova Southeastern University (NSU) where she earned her degree as a Doctor of Pharmacy (pharm D) . For the first 20 years after she graduated she worked in CVS Pharmacy, a job she loved since she was always passionate about helping patients and having the interaction of pharmacist to patients. After several years, she decided to look for other options, to experience a different
It is a pleasure to write a letter in support of Ms. Pickett’s application to medical school. I have known Ms. Sharonda Pickett since she joined Langston University in August 2008. She knew that she wanted to be a physician from the outset. However, she continued to shadow many medical professionals while working at the Blood Institute and this has only determination
It is my immense pleasure to recommend Daisy Lira Duran for the Club Estrella scholarship. As Daisy Lira’s chemistry teacher at Andrew P. Hill High School, I have known her for over 5 years and can first handedly speak on her commitment in and outside of the classroom. As my chemistry student, Daisy showed her commitment to learning and understanding complex ideas that have helped her succeed in her college career. I have no doubt that she is deserving of this scholarship and if received, will be an investment in her future as a physician.
As Cindy Nguyen’s past supervisor in the literacy program, BUILD, I strongly believe Cindy’s strong work ethic and dedication to public service makes her an excellent candidate for pharmacy school. Cindy has dedicated countless hours mentoring and tutoring students with literacy issues. Cindy’s own struggle learning English, motivated her to work with students who were dealing with the same issues she once dealt with. A great mentor caters to the student’s needs and goes above and beyond to ensure the students are not only practicing their literacy skills, but also participating in actives that will help them develop critical skills. Cindy would engage in detailed and well-thought activities with each of her students. Very often, Cindy would
I am pleased to recommend Alissa Davis, who has been in several of my classes for the past three years. During that time, I have come to know her as a hardworking, motivated, and persevering student.
This is an official request that you provide me a reference for my Pharmacy school application. As a person who supervised me during my tenure at Rite Aid, you can attest of my ability to pursue a career in the pharmacy field. Thank you for your support and for taking your time to satisfy my request
It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Danaya Middleton. She is an extremely polite and talented young woman who has many unique features. She is punctual, well organized, and exhibits a great deal of determination and perseverance in all of her work. Danaya is not only dedicated and a hardworking student, but she also shows extraordinary leadership skills in her everyday life. She is an outstanding member of society and excellent example for people.
I am contacting you this morning because I am a Wash U undergraduate student applying for M.D./Ph.D. programs, and Dr. Carolyn Cannon of Texas A&M recommended that I reach out to you. Dr. Cannon indicated that I should speak with you about the potential to shadow you, particularly in the clinical aspect, as she indicated that you were a great clinician, scientist, and a wonderful person.
It has been my pleasure to know Stephanie Ryzyk over the past semester as your Anatomy lab teacher. Stephanie is a pleasant, responsible woman who is organized and always turns in her assignments on time. She is a nature leader who helped her lab group accomplish the tasks necessary to complete the lab each week. Stephanie showed her care for others by always helping those in her group understand concepts or perform some of the more difficult assays that were assigned.
The thing I found most interesting while interviewing Bailey was how she stumbled upon the idea of becoming a pharmacist, she was actually diagnosed with having a benign brain tumor. Which she was only able to discover after many fail diagnosis’. Her story is unique, and was something I was not expecting when I had first decided to interview her. At such a tough time in her life she was able to find a possible career that she loved. While, I currently do not see myself going down the pharmacy path, I once did. I have a lot of respect for anyone who does choose that path, since I’m a pharmacy technician, I understand just how hard the work can be. Bailey is taking an unconventional path since she does want to do missionary work that involves treating those in need. Interviewing her has showed me there is more than one path you can take when you get your degree, you have endless opportunities. For the longest time I thought if you got a pharmacy degree, you had to work at a Walgreens, but now I’ve realized you have different options. You can work at a hospital, or even take it overseas and do mission work like Bailey is
My family suggested I look into a career in pharmacy because of my caring personality and strengths in the science field. After graduating from high school, I will be attending pharmacy school at Drake University. I am interested in pursuing a career in pharmacy because it would complement my academic interests of math and chemistry, as well as my compassionate personality and desire to help others. I have chosen Drake because their pharmacy program has an excellent reputation, a 100% placement rate into the field, and the six-year program reduces the cost. This school offers an accelerated six-year pharmacy program to obtain a PharmD degree with a Master’s Degree in Business Administration, instead of the eight-year pharmacy program that most schools offer.
At the beginning of Pharmacy students P2 year one experience required is to complete an IPPE in a community pharmacy setting. Going into this experience there are some goals which I would like to meet during my experience. These goals include getting more experience on the phone, getting better at patient interaction, and getting a better understanding of how a community pharmacy functions. To achieve the first goal, I will actively take phone calls talking to patients, prescribers, and other medical professionals. For the second goal, I will actively work with patients directly by counseling them or answering drug related questions. Finally, for my last goal I will actively ask questions to my preceptor about how his pharmacy functions and how he solve certain problems in the pharmacy. Through utilizing these methods, I will gain a better understanding of the role of a community pharmacist.
I am a highly self-motivated Nigerian young man who cherishes high academic ambitions, possesses outstanding foundational pharmacy knowledge, and is determined to work harder to make even more proud achievements. My passion in life is to contribute to the advancement of Pharmacy; the academic discipline that is inextricably connected with human life and human welfare, I have always been fascinated by this subject, bent on making my own contributions to the improvement of the quality of human life.
Thank you for your request for information regarding Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate). As you stated, you have a patient named PF, who is planned to have hip arthroplasty in 2-4 weeks due to degenerative joint disease that is unresponsive to either physical therapy or simple pain relievers. Mr. PF is a 79 year-old male with hypertension and hyperlipidemia. His current medications include naproxen 220 mg po bid, tramadol 50 mg po tid, and enalapril 10 mg po qd. In addition, Mr. PF has the codeine allergy. Because of Mr. PF’s severe fear of giving himself shots, your concern is whether or not Mr. PF can have Pradaxa orally instead of enoxaparin 40mg subcutaneously for DVT prophylaxis and still receives the similar efficacy and safety.
Life is measured by moments of impact. February 22, 2016, was impacting because I received acceptance from the University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy. I felt relieved, grateful, and whole. From that moment on I had an expectation of what pharmacy school would be like. I would wake, breathe, and sleep to everything pharmacy. However, from day one of orientation, I realized that pharmacy is not a narrow, point A to B path. I remember being inundated with so many new acronyms and expectations, but the one word that stuck with me most was “interprofessional”.
