Code of Ethics for Pharmacist
There is nothing as challenging as having close family members who are always on medication and thus needs constant care. Both of my grandparents have got diabetes and my dad as well. With this, there is no moment I can miss to be in contact with medicines. My sick family members require to be given constant medication advice to keep them healthy. Having pharmacist background has been my pleasure to help patients who need immediate medical attention like my family members. As a pharmacist, I know I will be able to be accessible to the public more often and give them my medical advice. It is obvious that pharmacy has been voted as the most trusted profession in America. Therefore, it is a great pleasure for my family members who are sick to have one of there own taking care of them among the most trusted professions. Undergoing the pharmacy training gives an individual the ability to be not only a drug expert but also become a health care expert. This means that with the expertise, I will be able to start drug therapy and at the same time manage many other diseases. This can be done in either a hospital or in a community. I have a CPhT certification which I got after working as a pharmacy technician at Walgreens Pharmacy for one year. This helped me a great deal to work as a senior certified pharmacy technician before going into independent pharmacy practicing. America is a country characterized by many immigrants of different backgrounds who both need same medical attention. Therefore having been brought up in Ukraine (before migrating to US), am able to speak Russian and Ukrainian which will help me a lot to assist patients from such regions who are unable to speak English. All this is for the love of helping the sick and since I know the public has a lot of faith in pharmacists, I have to work hard to achieve my dreams of becoming a good trusted pharmacist.

    I have been a pharmacy technician for three years. As a pharmacy technician, I have many responsibilities, including accurately typing and filling prescriptions.

    After completing the pharmacy residency IPPE, I feel like I have a much better understanding of how residency training is structured and how it can benefit me as a pharmacist. Visiting the hospital was helpful because it allowed us to talk with a variety of both PGY1 and PGY2 residents about not only the academic aspects of residency but also the more practical concerns such as finances and family balance. I felt that these conversations were both enlightening and comforting.…

    I discovered that I was not going to drown in ignorance and helplessness any longer. Instead, I wanted to understand more about the disease and I was not about to stand idly and watch my mother struggle. I explored on the internet, paid visits to the library, took extra classes at school, and ultimately strived to attain the confidence that comes only with knowledge. I pursued the causes and effects of diabetes, and offered the emotional support that my mother’s physician could not provide. Now, I work together with my mother to create healthy and balanced diet plans for not only my brother and father, but also my aging grandparents and…

    An ambulatory care pharmacist works closely with a medical team in order to provide the best course of therapy for a patient managing a chronic disease state. Ambulatory care caters to patients that are able to arrive at a clinic by their own means, in order to see a physician. Upon arrival at the clinic they are seen by a team of health professionals, including a pharmacist. Pharmacists assist physicians with medication information, checking for drug interactions, and recommending an alternative course of therapy when the current therapy is too expensive or is hard for the patient to maintain (Urbine, Link, Schneider, Schmitz, and Kistler, 2012).

    Talking about diabetes in one thing. Talking about diabetes while it waits your doorstep is a whole other story. I live with a high risk of diabetes. Countless members of my family have been diagnosed with this disease and some have passed away because of it. Diabetes runs through both sides of my family. My paternal grandmother, my maternal grandfather, my maternal grandfather’s brothers, and my maternal grandmother’s older sister all suffer from the same disease. For all of them, the daily routine never changed. They all swallowed pill after pill and conducted blood test after blood test. To this day, I still remember watching them swallow pills the size of almonds and cringing whenever they pricked themselves to conduct a blood test. I…

    My short-term goal is to work hard in school and learn to relate knowledge to real life, and get lots of practical experience during my rotations. My long term goal is to work as a pharmacist with my current employer. I have worked in a closed door pharmacy for 11 years and now desire to specialize in that field dealing with geriatrics patients. I really enjoy having the feeling that I am making a difference in people’s life’s. When I was doing my rotation’s, I had counselled a lot of patients and the most delightful and grateful people were elderly patients. I felt like I really connected with elderly people and seeing the smile on their face and their appreciation for my advice really brightens my day. When I look at geriatric population, my parents really come to mind and I want to provide them with the best evidenced based care in pharmacy. I know elderly people are a challenge to work with due to their comorbidities, but I also know they are the ones who need the most help for managing it. Working in a long term care, I see elderly patients with literally 20 medications and I am always trying my best to check if they really need all of them.…

    Belonging from a business background family I always had inclination towards managerial role in the organization. I am a man with professional aptitude and an interest in pharmaceutical industry. I also have a passion for traveling and understanding different cultures of the world. All these elements have given me a very broad outlook, with varying degrees of knowledge in a range of topics. I feel the greatest value in pharmacy studies is not so much the classes themselves but the accompanying thesis/practical work experience that you get in tandem with the coursework. Personally, I find the pharmaceutical training I will be getting to be an asset to my qualification, because I feel that I am getting a social and management perspective on the medicine I have studied managerial role in the health and social sector, and it does add something to the coursework.…
