I’m a multipotentialite(MPI). This term means someone with many interests and creative pursuits. Different from the expert who specializes in one particular field, MPIs have intense curiosity, as well as the adaptability and rapid learning ability. After I found myself being a MPI, the interests in biology and chemistry eventually drove me to choose pharmacy as my major. Studying experiences in CPU make me totally into to the capacious horizon of pharmacy. Behind a small pill, there are tremendous scientists and health providers working hard day and night, thus enabling this seemingly small pill to save millions of lives. For me, I extremely want to make a commitment to it, which motivates me to keep absorbing a wide variety of knowledge from different fields and simultaneously join the lab to start research. Honestly, in my freshman year, I enrolled in a special training program in CPU. This …show more content…
Yang to engage in the pharmacological research. During that time, I really enjoyed the fully occupied daily life, hurrying around the library, classroom, and lab, devoting my time and effort to reviewing papers and learning new experiment methods.
Brutal but real, the demerit of being a MPI emerged. I started to feel anxious. Though I was still highly interested in getting new knowledge from paper and textbook, I became repelled to the experimental research. To my disappointment, the results of experiment were usually different from my expectation, and I knew I should reconsider my research design or operating procedures to find the wrong step in this situation, followed by fixing it and doing the experiment again. However, continuously repeated experiments and results deviated from expectation seemed to recede my patience and motivation. I started to
I have spent my time as a student pharmacist learning about opportunities within clinical pharmacy and making certain that I was equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed. In my pursuit, I became an active member of pharmaceutical organizations, held multiple leadership positions, attended clinical conferences, established research projects, participated in community service events, and other initiatives. I excelled academically, which was manifested in not just a high academic standard but also in tutoring fellow classmates and arranging sessions with other pharmacy students to help them improve time management and study skills. I shadowed pharmacists and residents before my advanced pharmacy practice experiences commenced to discover which areas of clinical pharmacy I found intriguing. I have obtained valuable pharmacy practice experiences in five specialties thus far including inpatient internal medicine, long term acute care, geriatrics and telehealth, and primary care. Through these rotations, I built upon the knowledge I acquired from my didactic courses but also developed patient-centered approaches and strengthened my clinical skills. I enjoyed many aspects of my rotations, including contributing pharmacotherapy recommendations, providing patient education, attending rounds and interdisciplinary team meetings – all of which have solidified my desire
All things considered, I am fully capable of hard work, but my true passion lies in medicine
One of the most attractive components rooted in the etiology of the PLME program lies in the ability to pursue a true love of learning outside the conventional medical school. The scholarly thinker in me wishes to continue growing and enriching all sides of my character, not just the one-dimensional side born of a STEM foundation, but those belonging to a broad liberal arts education.
Merci Clinic is a small clinic providing free health care services to adults that have limited income and without medical or dental insurance. The staffs of Merci Clinic consists of mostly volunteers. My job as volunteer at the clinic is like a pharmacy assistant. For my future career, I planned to work somewhere in the healthcare industry. As I narrowed my options down, I wanted to do a job that relates to medicine. I was just interested medicines and want to know more about it. I think that a pharmacist will suit this interest best. My ultimate goal is to research and discover medicine that will cure the incurable illness. Besides the point, I feel that volunteering at the clinic as a pharmacy assistant is slight advantage for my career.
My academic background is unique coming from the Pharmaceutical Sciences Program and the Campuswide Honors Program at UCI. Very few students have completed both rigorous programs. The CHP is the best honors program in the UC system and the Pharm Sci curriculum is designed to give students exceptional preparation for pharmacy school. This has pushed me to be one of the most well-rounded Pharmaceutical Sciences students at UCI. I believe this gives me unique preparation for new and challenging curriculum in pharmacy school. It has also nurtured my love for learning in all disciplines and exposed me to topics outside of my major. Never have I been satisfied with completing the minimum requirements. I have always been the type of student that pushes myself to improve and consider new possibilities I have spent more time than most of my peers developing my
“Mitochondriaaa, praaay for us,” mocked my fifth grade classmate, bent on driving our science teacher insane. I was only 11 years old, but at that moment, learning about mitochondria in my tiny classroom, I became transfixed. Throughout my life, I’ve recognized two constants: a love for science and a passion for learning. Whether learning about the physical forces governing a sunset, the sociological impact on schizophrenia, or the pathogenesis of bacterial diseases, I am captivated by science. However, one question always lingered in the back of my mind: How am I going to harness my passion to benefit the world around me? Becoming a physician seemed to be the obvious answer, yet doubts clouded that notion. However, when I immersed myself in diverse medical experiences, and pursued the passion within me, all doubts ceased. As my experiences increased, my desire to attend medical school flourished.
One of the major facets in my pursuit of a career in medicine is that I have not followed a traditional pre-med undergraduate curriculum. Though I initially did not have a significant aptitude for physics, I harbored an inherent curiosity of the subject, and have taken it upon myself to spend my undergraduate education focused on it. The journey ahead was trying, but one that has made me a stronger individual.
Ten years ago I set out on a journey to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming an influential pharmacist and healthcare professional within my community, however, I was unaware of all of the challenges I would be faced in pursuit of my dreams. I began seeking work while I was enrolled in my first semester of college. During my job search, I discovered a job posting for an entry level pharmacy technician at a community retail pharmacy. After reading the job description, I knew that I was on the right track to finding a career that incorporated my love for both chemistry and biology. I began work as a pharmacy technician where I learned the ins and outs of the industry and decided to enroll in the certified pharmacy technician course that was available at my college in hopes of continuing my goal of one day becoming a pharmacist.
Organic chemistry and critical thinking are important components in my future career. I found this to be the case when I asked Ashley Geisinger, Pharmacist at Meyer Pharmacy in Waverly, Iowa, what kind of influence organic chemistry and critical thinking has in pharmacy. Ashley is also married to my cousin, so I was fortunate enough to have been around her for a few years now. Prior to graduation high school and attending Grand View, I had multiple conversations with Ashley about future careers in medicine and college plans pertaining to a future in medicine.
Human capital is an important aspect of an individual's life that are affected by their education, training, and health. In order to optimize my human capital, I plan on continuing my education and pursuing a chemistry degree or taking part in a pharmacy program to be able to receive my Pharm. D. In order to accomplish this goal, I am interested in the pharmaceutical program offered by the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. The program that they offer would allow me to receive my pharmacy degree in six years and be guaranteed a job shortly after graduating. Another option would be to attend a school that focused primarily on pharmaceuticals such as the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and health sciences. Throughout my schooling, I would like to shadow or intern for a professional in the field so I am able to better understand the qualities and aspects that pharmacists have to be equipped with.
From there, I’d like to attend the Clark Advanced Learning Center for 10-12th grade, taking Dual Enrollment. I would like to pursue a career in the pharmaceutical industry, so I can develop pharmaceuticals that will hopefully make a positive impact in others’ lives.
The research I have conducted explains the way I grow and think as a human being. It will give reason to my nonsocial habits and my tendencies to focus in on problems. This research not only gives understanding to the basic of my personality traits but it demonstrated my strengths and weaknesses as well. INTPs are very logical people and can do great things. As thinkers INTPs look at wide variety of outcomes in a situation. Clarity is essential to how situations are handled. My research gave a look on how I perceive the world. My ideas sometime don’t fit into reality. Perception,
In that field, I can use the knowledge I learned in my mom’s pharmacy to excel in this field.
Research can be a very scary topic when it is first introduced to a class, and I was that scary student. Research to me was like learning how to swim for the first time with a life vest on, and my heart beating 100 miles per hour because I’m so afraid. Taking off my life vest and diving into this research course has been very rewarding for me. I have learned so much in such a short amount of time. It has open my eyes up to a variety of ways I can start and conduct my research. Research is not so scary anymore. In this paper, I’m going to tell you about the things that I have learned and perfected while taking this course.
I came into college knowing that I wanted to work in the medical field, but without really knowing what profession I wanted to pursue. There were many reasons why I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field which eventually led to pursuing a pharmacy career. One reason was wanting a career where I’m regularly
