Why I decided to pursue pharmacy school? S.W.
I selected pharmacy school because I felt this choice was best suited for me as an individual along with providing a career in which I could develop allowing my strengths to flourish. I have always had a peaceful, amiable and servant-minded heart eager to share with individuals. While growing up I have always wanted to assist people in any way possible. In middle and high school my greatest area of interest of was science so I realized upon entering college I would major in the sciences. Late into my junior year of college, I accepted a position as a pharmacy technician in a local pharmacy. This pharmacist took me under his wing providing me an opportunity to learn and observe various aspects of medicine/pharmacy differing from standard classroom instruction. In addition, working in that pharmacy provided valuable comprehensive knowledge about the industry of pharmacy while yielding a holistic approach of understanding drugs and their actions. This job peaked my interest by intriguing me beyond merely knowing drug names but understanding more about them. His passion and interest for his profession left an indelible influence on my life. Unbeknownst to him, he had planted the seed in me for pharmacy practice.
As a pharmacist I will solely commit to educating patients about their medications and working with clinicians to promote effective use of drugs. With unprecedented advances in medicine/ drug discovery linked together with exciting new interdisciplinary approaches to scientific discovery, the roles of pharmacists have become more comprehensive. Being a pharmacist is not just being a "dispenser of drugs"as times have progressed to bringing to surface a new class of pharmacists. Pharmacists are now making drug therapy decisions, selecting medications for patients, providing expert drug information, monitoring and assessing patient adherence and compliance, taking active roles in prevention and wellness, assessing drug therapy treatment outcomes and a host of other provisions. I am confident in my abilities to perform as a well-trained pharmacist. With this acceptance I have asked critical questions of my matriculation process. Can I permit myself to enter into the private world of my patients, explore their feelings and concerns without judging them or succumbing to partiality/bias and in some significant and ethical way respond in a manner assuring them that I have listened while seeking to provide the necessary assistance and comfort I possibly can? Can I see person as unique in his/her reaction to illness and disease? Can I see what is different and similar about this person so that any insight or assistance I may provide is the most useful and beneficial to my patients needs? Upon asking these questions of myself, my answers remain perpetual and consistently yes. I chased a dream which produced a vision which yielded a path of direction and now today I stand-a third year pharmacy student.
