Statement Of Purpose In Pharmacy

My interest in the HIHIM program comes from my family. My parents, uncles, and aunts are either doctors, pharmacists, engineers, or computer scientists. Throughout my childhood at family gatherings, the dinner conversations of patient care, health care delivery, software, and companies such as Boeing and Microsoft have mesmerized me. I listened intently about their schooling, different types of projects they and their team worked on, and how gratifying their work improved the lives of people and society. Surrounded by family involved in health care and technology, it was during my freshman year in college that I was introduced to the health informatics major. Subsequently, I researched the major and talked with advisors and professionals in the field. The HIHIM program would allow me to follow in my family’s footsteps. Receiving great medical care not only involves seeing prominent practitioners, but also learning about health informatics will provide me with the knowledge of the complex health care system to ensure patients receive the best quality care from start to finish.

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.

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

This project allowed for a more realistic experience of research and further emphasis of collaboration, as my partner and I’s project was a continuation of work that was done in the lab, which let work with and consult a larger team of experts. Collaboration on this project not only benefited me in completing this project, but it also allowed me to further develop the cell culture skills I gained in my molecular biology project because I was able to collaborate with my partner on her project. The research I conducted in the Gato lab was extremely interesting to me because it allowed me to explore an immunodeficiency that I previously had little knowledge of, it introduced me to the field of toxicology, and allowed me to conduct animal and invitro studies in clinical chemistry-based projects. This research experience introduced me to biomedical research and led to my interest in attaining an MD-PhD because it combined the genetic analysis that interested me from my genetic course and clinical diagnostic tests that are used to identify if an individual suffers from diabetic kidney

Since I was young, I have always been fascinated with the sciences and how the world works. It would be a dream of mine to work in a laboratory and develop new medicines. Science is one of my biggest passions and having an opportunity to explore new technologies and advanced scientific procedures would mean the world to me. In order to achieve my dream, I plan to further my education at UW-Eau Claire by gaining a degree in biochemistry or molecular biology. Depending on the opportunities that present themselves during my college experience, I may choose to attend medical school or gain my masters degree in a more specific field of study. Because of my desire to improve the community, I know I will find myself in a career with patient interaction

I also received the Dr. Harry Harden, Jr., Student Academic Excellence Award in May 18, 2015, and received the Silver Medal for the Prince George’s Community College 6th Annual Mathematic Tournament, Maryland, on April 5, 2014. Armed with confidence that I would succeed academically, it occurred to me that my learning process would be even more effective and enjoyable if I could find a hands-on job in the field of my major. So, I started working as a pharmacy

Growing up, I watched my mother study rigorously to earn her degree. The curious adolescent that I was, I constantly flipped through her anatomy book and it was then, that fueled my fascination for the medical field. As I continued my education through High School I found that I excelled in the sciences and I especially enjoyed chemistry and biology. My passion for these subjects and innate curiosity intrigues me to learn more about the composition of drugs and their functions in the body. My immediate goal is to gain knowledge and expertise in the areas of study that I enjoy by implementing my natural diligence and curiosity.

I originally entered college as an ambitious business major with plans to complete the pre-med track as well. But, I quickly learned that I needed to narrow my focus to one or the other, especially taking on a demanding college baseball schedule involving year round practice and a forty game season. Although I have always been enthusiastic about business, I decided that I didn’t want to pursue a career path that would most likely put my behind a desk crunching numbers or pushing sales all day. It personally seemed to me as something that lacked real meaningfulness and an ability to make a significant impact. Meaningfulness and the ability to apply my love for science was what had always peaked my interest in the medical field. In my sophomore

It is very much evident that the field of pharmacy has been expanding its dimensions at a tremendous rate and contributing a major role in health care. However, my focus has primarily been in understanding the economic aspects of healthcare complementing the safety and efficacy of the therapy. Pharmacoeconomics has been one of the intriguing modules ever since I started learning about it. As a student of a developing country, I perceived several concerns in the healthcare sector esp. in relation to health care cost, which indeed prompted me to develop passion on the subject of Pharmacoeconomics. My long-term objective is to see myself as a significant contributor of health care domain through Pharmacoeconomics research. Hence, I am interested in learning and excelling in this field through the graduate program in pharmacoeconomics & health outcome research at your university.

My interest in pharmacy began at an early age. Growing up, both of my parents had numerous health issues requiring medication. My mother was diagnosed with type I diabetes during her pregnancy. Relying on insulin numerous times per day, I grew up helping her dose and even administer insulin. Quickly I began to respect medication and appreciate its importance. She later developed other autoimmune processes including thyroid and celiac disease. I realized then, that patient education was another important role of pharmacists; taking the time to explain when she should take her medications as well as the ingredients within each medication. My father also had his share of health concerns including cardiac disease, and has required cardiac

Throughout my academic journey in the Pre-Pharmacy curriculum, I have prepared myself for the challenges Pharmacy School will present me. I have learned many different things through this, but most importantly I have learned that my determination and dedication are what has kept me centered in this degree path. I believe that Harding's College of Pharmacy will provide me the challenges I need to promote learning and growth in regards to becoming a student of pharmacy.

I would like to pursue in a PhD to continue to position myself throughout my career after I graduate from the UNT System College of Pharmacy. As working as a pharmacist technician for 4 months, I have witnessed that many pharmacists are getting replaced by other pharmacists. I used to believe that pharmacists are very stable, but I realized that there are no stable jobs in a dog-eat-dog world. I know the importance of keep improving myself to stand out from the same groups of people. Pursing another 3 to 5 years at school after getting PharmD could give even broader perspectives in my field by having both degrees. Pursuing PhD will differentiate me form others by allowing me to become a good technical and real thinker.

Richard Brundage’s. I did my undergraduate study in pharmacy and I got my bachelor of science degree in pharmacy as well. Before I came to the University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy, I planned to pursue my Ph.D. degree in pharmacology after I graduated from China Pharmaceutical University. The truth was that I got both offers from Doctor of Pharmacy program here and Ph.D. in pharmacology in other medical schools. After comparing and considering for a very long period of time, finally, I made the decision to go here and attend the Pharm.D. program. However, although I am a professional student in pharmacy now, I will never lose my passion and interest in clinical pharmacology research. I am seeking any valuable chance to get involved in the research within my four years pharmacy school. In my point of view, everyone who comes to the pharmacy school is different with a unique background in the beginning, but after the four years pharmacy school growth and study, everyone masters the skills and knowledge to become a verified pharmacist, and everyone is similar in the end. I myself really want to do something different compared to others, and I am considering to do a research emphasis and conducting some research projects under the mentoring and guidance from professors and graduate students. When I ask myself, I cannot rule out the possibility to be a Ph.D. student in clinical pharmacology after I
