Since my childhood, I have always had a passion to care for people. Seeing people sad made me sad too. I have always tried to be compassionate to all the people around me. I have always wanted to care for people and solve their problems. Physically caring for people makes me happy and satisfied. I believe that my desire to care for people is one basic factor that has made me so determined to pursue a career in pharmacy.
I have thought about the best way to express my passion as a hobby and at the same time develop it as a career. In my search, I came across pharmaceutical care. According to my search, I know pharmaceutical care as the provision of drug therapy. I discovered that drug therapy is quite significant because of the role it plays in improving the quality of life of the patients. I believe that pursuing a career in pharmacy will be a great achievement in my life and the best thing I have done in my life. Venturing into the pharmaceutical care sector to me will be killing two birds with a stone; I will engage in a bright career with a bright future at the same time doing what I like best. The fact that pursuing a career in pharmacy will be more of a hobby to me will make it possible for me to advance my advanced levels. Pursuing a pharmacy course to advanced levels is actually not just a desire I have but rather a goal I have purposed to achieve.
Recently I was in Haiti after the earthquake. The sight of the aftermath of the earthquake was not good at all. The few medical personnel available could not handle all the people who needed their attention. It was quite pathetic and though I helped my desire was that my help could help the quality of these people’s lives. I believe that I have a big heart and that is why I wish to give assistance to anyone who requires it. Pharmaceutical care will give me a big chance to genuinely take care of people and ensure that their pain is alleviated.
I find pharmaceutical care to be quite intriguing. Apart from just advancing my career in pharmacy, I have purposed to achieve some other goals: I have purposed to establish direct patient advice, decrease medication errors and increase patient compliance to medication. I believe in the practice of good medicine; I also believe that being genuinely concerned about your patients is truly a practice of good medicine as this will make it possible to get information that can be very valuable in the treatment of the patient. Being genuinely concerned about my patients will make it possible for me to offer direct advice to the patients. I intend to keep medication errors at minimal levels as such errors can be costly to the health of a patient. I will also endeavor to ensure that the patients comply with the medications that are given to them. I will also be willing to offer my services overseas when the need arises.
Generally, I am looking forward to building a strong relationship with my patients and offering assistance to them to help improve the quality of their health. I am positive that I make a great change in patients’ lives because offering pharmaceutical care is will be a hobby and career at the same time.
