Pharmacy is a prolific field of study that is taking a prime position in the world of academia. It is quite demanding and needs completeness and vigilance. Thus, by going through pre-pharmacy, it will help me reshape my educational and career aspirations by bringing into reality what pharmacy entails through prerequisite coursework. I will also be able to come to terms with what the profession has at the end of the tunnel and asses with it marches my career goals. The profession is loaded with numerous employment and personal advancement opportunities, and I am motivated to study pre-pharmacy since it will spark of my innovativeness and optimistic that my future days would be worth the trouble.

My childhood unleashed a desire to know how things worked and why things happened; this soon flourished into a more specific interest in the field of Pharmacy. Medicine fascinated me, driving my obsession to understand all of the dynamics of pharmaceutical drugs. My studies in Biology at New Jersey City University, and my current occupation as a Certified Pharmacy Technician, led my desire to go further with my education in pursing an advanced degree as a Doctor of Pharmacy. My undergraduate career has prepared me extensively, such as requiring that I take on a wide range of science-based courses including Biochemistry, Genetics, and Microbiology. My hard work and dedication led to me being on the Dean's List for a number of semesters. I was also honored to be part of The National Honor Society of Leadership and Success and The Tri-Beta Biological Honor Society.

I feel like as humans we tend to make a routine for ourselves and before we know it we cannot go beyond it. The effort to learn something or do something different becomes tiresome. Our lives are conditioned to be a routine; eat, sleep, go to school (college now) and most dreadful of all, learn. It is not come as a surprised as when school is over we come home and toss our book bags anywhere, but, near. We do not want to be reminded of learning (until the next morning). So, for me my life became a sort of routine and I was totally fine with that. I was okay with my typical boring high school life with seeing the same friends and teachers and doing basically the same thing everyday.

Research is the driving force behind all scientific innovations. Gathering talented and passionate people to increase the understanding of the world to ultimately apply a field of science changes the world. I am currently in my third year of double majoring in chemistry and biology at Concordia University Nebraska. I have thoroughly enjoyed my studies thus far—from learning why drugs have a specific impact on the body to predicting electron movement between molecules—and I look forward to learning more. But at such a small school, one educational experience that is missing is the in-depth, focused research projects like those available at KU.

I recently graduated from Harding University with a degree in Exercise Science. While obtaining this degree, I learned how great my compassion for the human body really is. One of my favorite classes as an undergraduate was Exercise Prescription for different Populations. My professor really pushed us to explore new topics and expand our knowledge. Learning how people with different diseases or problems with their body adapt to different exercise techniques to keep them

I am currently a fourth year doctoral student within the the pharmaceutical sciences graduate program at the College of Pharmacy. I have finished the course work and passed the preliminary comprehensive exam. I have also completed an oral pre-defense for my dissertation, in which I presented the first 3 chapters (introduction, literature review, and research methodology) in front of the designated committee members.

Through my upbringing and exposure to the healthcare profession through parents' careers, I have had the opportunity to witness their commitment and empathy towards their clients, and have grown to appreciate the work that medical professionals do. Pharmacists are ambitious and reliable people that interact and connect with their clients while providing treatment. They make personal sacrifices to ensure the wellbeing of others and I genuinely aspire to make that kind of difference in the lives of those struggling with illnesses while being in a profession that really interests me.

I was very excited to learn that I had been placed at my first choice elective APPE rotation at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center focusing on pharmaceutical drug analysis and research. This was an area of pharmacy I did not have any experience in and was interested in learning more about. Dr. Klang introduced me to numerous apparatuses used daily in the research setting. I learned not only the rules and regulations of cleanroom compounding according to USP 797, but also the logic behind each component. With my previous rotation being internal medicine and working in the community setting this rotation was a complete change for me. Each day something new and exciting to work on surfaced, we were ready to research any questions proposed by the pharmacy staff at MSKCC. Through multiple projects I was able to develop the skills necessary to work, and more importantly, analyze the results of multiple machines, such as the HPLC and particle sizer.

My Name is Stanley Azubike I come from a family that has had to work hard in order to bring me to the place I am today. My parents grew up in Nigeria, Anambra State. As children of hardship, they were dedicated to giving me and my sisters a promising future in the free and promising land of America. Having gone through hard times and sufferings from a young age, they adapted themselves to a self-motivation way of life in making sure we do well in school, go to college, graduate and make something great of our lives and surpass their expectations.

With my new found curiosity, I was fortunate enough to land a research position with Dr. Elbarbry at the School of Pharmacy during my sophomore year. I had no prior experience going into this research position and I did not know what to expect other than the face that I wanted to learn more about how drugs interact with and metabolizes in the body. In the lab, we studied the inhibitory effects of Quercetin and Thymoquinone on cytochrome P450 enzymes. We

A number of times to the community pharmacy throughout my youth and into my adolescence was the formation of my affinity for pharmacy. Two months as a retail pharmacy technician trainee in the summer that I completed my first year of college empowered my perspective about the importance of a multidisciplinary team. The privilege of being exposed to a well-rounded profession opened many new doors in my roles as a college student aiming to achieve the Doctor of Pharmacy degree where openness and accessibility in times of need are my long-term professional goals. A family member of mine happened to be deeply interested by the purpose of a medication that treats pain and inflammatory needs as their body was affected by extremely bad conditions as well as disadvantages and not only did this encourage me towards pharmacy, but an eye-opening circumstance which extends to a level

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.

After arriving late to a day shadowing in a physician’s office, I would be a bit flustered. However, I would need to address my anxiety and leave it behind to make sure I am fully able to see patients and address their needs. I would also apologize to the physician I am shadowing or my tardiness and explain the circumstances surrounding it (my flat tire). After this, I would go to see the first patient of the day, Ms P. I would knock and enter the room, washing my hands at the sink or using hand sanitizer immediately, while apologizing for the wait she has experienced. I would then welcome Ms. P into the office, making sure to use her name and asking what she prefers to be called to address her by for the remainder of the appointment. I would then introduce myself as Erin Melican, a medical student who is shadowing and helping around the office. Next, I would either take a seat if possible as to be on her level and remove any further barriers to communication. I would also make sure we had privacy by shutting the door to the room or closing a curtain.
