Pre-Pharmacy Personal Statement

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.

My Butler University academic training and intern experience has positioned me to recognize and appreciate the essential role performed by the clinical pharmacist. Although sometimes transparent, it is the clinical pharmacist that is central to a patient’s ultimate successful recovery. This was evident during my clinical rotations, where I directly participated in the optimization of medication therapy to achieve patient-specific outcomes; it is for this reason I am impassioned and compelled to pursue a residency. As a PGY-1 resident, I plan to apply my clinical knowledge in the acute and ambulatory care settings to identify medication-related problems and make therapeutic recommendations in collaboration with other practitioners. Upon completion

Before being eligible to enter pharmacy school it is require to attend college for at least two year, however, it is common for some people to receive an undergraduate degree and then enter into pharmacy school (Pharmacist). Before entering into pharmacy school I, plan to take undergraduate coursework in physics, chemistry, biology, and calculus. And then after two years of college I, plan on entering pharmacy school. After entering in the pharmacy school it takes four years to obtain a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharmacy). A Doctor of Pharmacy means that after passing the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination administered by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) that you can demonstrate the necessary skills to safely distribute medicine (Pharmacy). Even after receiving a Doctor of Pharmacy many people choose to further the understanding of pharmacy through additional residencies and fellowships for an extra one to two years of education. Already in high school I have taken higher level math and sciences to prepare me for college. My math classes have included algebra one, geometry, algebra two, pre-calculus, and dual- credit calculus. My science classes have included earth science, biology, chemistry, and physics. After going through the necessary education to pursue a career in pharmacy I plan to jump right into the work force. A lot of hard work and dedication is required for me to obtain my goals but I am up to the

Pharmacy is my first career choice. In a way, it embodies the three other careers that I have also considered pursuing. [transition] Artists dedicate their lives to learning and mastering their skills in order to create their vision. Teachers pass on valuable knowledge to their students and mold them into successful individuals. Politicians establish and modify policies for the people they are elected to serve. As a pharmacist, I hope to incorporate parts of these three into the career that I have chosen to pursue. I want to become proficient in my skills of pharmaceutical care, take an active role in improving the processes of pharmaceutical practice, and educate and lead my patients to a healthier life.

The role of pharmacist is rapidly growing. With the advent of SB 493, pharmacist in California has officially gained provider status. Their roles are no longer limited to dispensing medications and counseling. The development of the Advance Practice Pharmacy certification has expanded the scope of pharmacy practice. With the proper trainer and certifications, pharmacist can now assess patient health care along with their provider resulting in a cohesive treatment. This change to pharmacy motivates me to be part of that field, but I did not start out on a path to pharmacy at first.

During these years, I learned a lot about hospital environment, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. I know what they are doing and how they work each other. So If I am working in a hospitals as a pharmacist, I will know how the hospital system works. Because I have been working in a laboratory, I know how to working with instruments, how to run all different specimens, how to interpret results, how to use laboratory equipment, and how to use microscopes. These are very basic of science. so knowing all of these already, it will gives me an advantage when I study at pharmacy school especially in the laboratory part of a class. As a medical technologist, I often go to patient's room to collect bone marrow biopsy specimens, and I am very happy to help them with diagnosis to process their specimens and get a quality result. Just know that I can be able to help patients when they ask or need help is that make me feel good. Based on my personal experiences and hospital working experiences, I am sure that I can be success in the pharmacy

In order to become a fully qualified pharmacists, the MPharm graduates should complete the pre-registration training. One of the main reasons why the number of MPharm students should be controlled is because the places for the pre-registration training did not increase as dramatically as the number of students. In fact, some of the main body that offered

When I first started out as a Pharmacist, I met a vibrant and engaging 90-year-old man who needed a vast range of medication to keep him going on a daily basis. As I counseled him about the new medication he had to take, I asked him how he was able to maintain such positive energy towards life. He said: “Thanks to you all [doctors and pharmacists], I am able to stand right here knowing that even when my heart stops, you would do the best you can to keep me alive.” Being a pharmacist to me was a high pressure yet rewarding career where I feel comfortable offering my helping hands to our society in need. Pharmacy is a great career where it is educational, require great dedication and discipline.

Pharmacy has always been a part of my life. My uncle is a pharmacist, and I clearly remember my cousin going through pharmacy school as I grew up. I can still remember my mother telling me about my cousin's application process, White Coat Ceremony, and graduation. It was all so interesting to me from the very beginning, and I knew that I just had to be a pharmacist. At the time, I had no idea just how much the profession would mean to me.

Pharmacy fascinates me in how the symptoms of a disease are eradicated or a progression of a disease is halted by the use of medication. A precise dosage in milligrams is prescribed to alter physiological processes for desirable results to maintain patient’s health shows the extensive research behind this field. The development of vaccines has allowed us to better our living standards and to prepare for horrific natural disasters, such as the 1918 flu pandemic which infected 500 million people around the world. The strive to win the battle against such viruses is something that profoundly intrigues me and showcases the evolution of science and the advancements being made in the field of pharmaceutical drugs.

Growing up in a family filled with scientists, my life has always had an element of science connected to it. However of all the sciences, chemistry excites me most and I am always willing to study, therefore at university my course would have to have chemistry at its centre and it is because of this genuine interest in chemistry that i'm able to conclud that Pharmacy is the right course for me because it serves both my desire to study chemistry while at the same is time has an extremely important ethical aspect. Studying the subject I enjoy most while being able to provide a potentially life changing service to those around me is something I can see myself doing for the rest of my life. All my subjects interrelated with one another and to Pharmacy, they provide essential knowledge for the course. While I studied different molecules in biology and their

I delight in helping people and that is what pharmacists do as well as additional significant tasks. They are also very organized people, as am I. That is why I would treasure being a pharmacist and truly love the job. I have worked exceptionally hard in my classes to maintain my exceptional grades and GPA. I have completed additional activities such as going to pharmacy camp to learn what a pharmacist does. I have also done ample research to know if I will like the job and what I have to do to achieve this goal. Every bit of this contributes to me reaching my goal and I cannot wait until my journey

“I promise to devote myself to a lifetime of service to others through the profession of pharmacy” was an oath I took two years ago when I graduated as a pharmacist from Jordan University of Science and Technology, but the preparation to fulfill it started since my first day in undergrad school, as my ultimate goal in life is to provide people with best health within my possibilities. In order to be able to stand still behind my promise, I have been working hardly since then on my education, personal traits and professional development.

The future may be uncertain that injects fear into the minds of some people. When it comes to me, I learn to interpret that the very uncertainty of the future is full of opportunities, for exploration to discover something I am passionate about. In the beginning, I expected to be a clinical pharmacist at a hospital, since I had taken a pharmacy degree with clinical pharmacy major. Nevertheless, the food and beverage industry has captivated my interest enough for me to pursue a career in it, especially related to the innovation and development of functional foods.

I have been on a number of college visits to pharmacy schools. I have been to the University of Findlay, the University of Toledo, Ohio Northern University, and the University of Cincinnati. I want to be confident that I will love where I spend the next six years of my life pursuing my dream. I have performed an adequate amount of research on my own also to know what pharmacists have to do and if I would like being a pharmacist. Very soon I will be contacting a pharmacist to arrange a time to job shadow them. Undertaking this I will have knowledge of what I could be doing every day after I graduate college. These activities are considerable components in determining where I would go to college to become a pharmacist and if I would like this
