Why I Want To Be An Asthmacist

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.

I enjoyed learning the physiological interactions of the human body in response to chemicals and how bodily systems control daily functioning like muscle contraction, homeostasis, and vascular circulation. This past semester I even studied abroad at the University of Edinburgh and took Medical Biology: learning an abundance of new information. After traveling back to the United States, I shadowed a pharmacist, which had a profound effect on me. Just from observing, I discovered pharmacists have an extensive responsibility to the community that requires a large amount of trust and that pharmacists have to work with other medical professionals to find the best solution for the patient. This is one of the many reasons why I want to become a pharmacist. I know expansion of my current knowledge will be necessary to become successful in the profession, but as a pharmacist I will constantly expanding my knowledge, developing trust, and giving back to my community. This is something I look forward

Growing up in a family where my father worked as a pharmacist with both my older sister and older brother selecting pharmacy as their profession, I would be lying if I said that this did not serve to influence my decision-making in any form or shape. It was not until my freshman year of high school when I chose to volunteer at my aunt’s independently-owned pharmacy that formally opened its doors for business that I began to seriously consider my future profession. Initially, because business was severely slow and lacking, I did not find much interest in the field of pharmacy as I was primarily spending my time setting up equipment, organizing the store, and moving boxes around among others. It was not until a few years later when the business started picking up steam and more customers began to file in that allowed me to further interact with more people and consequently, increase the variety of drug medications that the pharmacy had in stock. In turn, this presented me an opportunity to familiarize myself with drug names such as Amlodipine, Gabapentin, Lorazepam, Metformin, and many more. Admittedly, even just seeing and holding the manufacture’s bottle in my hand sparked great interest in myself at that time. I was simply fascinated by the different drugs and found the role of a pharmacist to encompass much more than “dispensing medications.”

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

Studying at the West-Mec Pharmacy Technician program will eventually help me reach my long term goal of becoming a hospital pharmacist. This program will give me the benefit of hands-on training and will teach me the necessary skills that are required for a pharmacy technician. I want to have a career as a pharmacist in the future and I understand that becoming a pharmacy technician is not required, but it is a huge benefit. Pharmacists dispense medication and other remedies. They need to understand the importance of doses, allergens and other chemical reactions that may cause harm to the patients. Because of this, pharmacists are important to the medical field. I chose a pharmacist as my career because I want to ensure that my patients

In high school, there was no clear picture for my future. With an immense grasp in science and math, I knew that was my calling. I wasn't sure of the overall field of study I aspired but I know I wanted to master it and enjoy it for life. My high school teacher referred me to the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Pharmacy School Preview Day. I attended the event my junior year and was washed over in awe. I found a greater appreciation for the use of medicine and the applications

My dad’s car broke down one day, and when I arrived to pick him up there was an individual speaking with him who eventually asked me, “So what is your major?” I explained I was in the Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences program at The Ohio State University, and I was hoping to pursue a PharmD to become a Pharmacist. He responded with a chuckle asking, “Why does a Pharmacist have to go to school for so long, simply to greet the customer, fill out their prescriptions, and send them along?” I did not know how to respond, seeing as I did not have the Pharmacy foundation I do now. His curiosity led me to explore all prospects the career can lead to.

This semester has been a tough one but I feel like I have learned a lot about pharmacy over these past few months.

I have learnt a lot of important values to be a healthcare provider. As a future pharmacist, we should not only treat diseases of patient, but as well as giving the best in terms of support and comfort. Even I have all the knowledge is there to learn in the medical field, not knowing and understand how a patients feels would not make me the best pharmacist. Communication is the key to every human being to connect, share and learn with each other. As Patch Adams from the movie said, “Every human being has an impact on another”. Be it a random stranger who just makes your day happy or your closest people in supporting you. This quote is very meaningful to me because being a healthcare provider, we should care, give support to patients who need it as well as the best treatment for them. This can impact patients in the positive way. Moreover, it can inspire other people and also make an impact on them as well. Treating patients and making them smile to forget their suffering will definitely give a good feeling. With this, being a pharmacist would not be just performing a job, but to be a pharmacist who makes other life better and inspire
