I can honestly say I was very enthusiastic to be receiving my high school diploma and pharmacy technician degree in the same year. My interest for medication would come at a very young age, ( preferably around the age of 3 and 4 ). After growing up witnessing my great grandmother take various of medications for an array of health problems, it captivated my mind to want to know more about the pharmaceutical world.

Upon graduating from Capps college and completing courses in pharmaceutical calculation, pharmaceutical compounding, and principles of pharmacy practice, I was able to obtain pharmacy technician license through the Alabama state Board of pharmacy.

    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.

    Healthcare Personal Statement

    Everyone deserves equal access to healthcare. Nevertheless, many people in our community still do not have access to good healthcare. A friend of mine was in a critical condition because she refused to seek medical treatment when she became ill. She did not have health insurance and she was not aware of the opportunities for affordable healthcare for those with low income. I have seen the negative impact that comes from delaying health care many times in my Vietnamese-American community, and I understand their struggle because I was once in their shoes. Additionally, many healthcare professionals seem to not realize that most Vietnamese cannot read, as education was not their priority.…

    Uconn Pharmacy School Admissions Essay

    A year and two pre-pharmacy semesters after my injury, I returned to a hospital, this time as a volunteer. Though no pharmacy positions were available, I volunteered close to 100 hours in Hartford Hospital's Surgical Family Lounge. My task involved communicating with physicians and nurses to provide updates for families regarding the status of their loved ones. My time at the hospital grew to be a fruitful learning experience about teamwork. The numerous tasks and busy environment of the hospital made it imperative to work well with staff. During one chaotic summer day, joint effort with one additional volunteer substantially improved the efficiency of the whole process. With time I expanded my communication skills as well, as I mastered the ability to relay messages. I had to translate complex medical terminology into layman terms for the families. This allowed me to develop communication skills and expand upon my medical vocabulary, which would unquestionably prove useful in pharmacy. While I have improved my teamwork and communication abilities in the hospital, I look forward to the opportunity for further development of these and other valuable skills throughout pharmacy school.…

    Health Care Personal Statement

    After graduating from Oakland University in 2010 with a Bachelor's degree in Health Science, I joined the Detroit Medical Center as a laboratory technologist because I wanted to learn about clinical instruments and their technology. As a Medical Technologist, I process blood, urine and other body fluids on advanced chemistry and toxicology analyzer to aid physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. These instruments aid the technologist by automating very complex and time consuming process. The instruments can be programmed to automatically upload results to physicians in real time, streamlining patient care while holding back abnormal results for review by the technologist before they are released to the physicians. Personal and professional experiences in health care have given me a vision about where I want my career to progress and have encouraged me to pursue a degree in Health Information Technology.…

    I had worked hard in school because of this desire to become a physician. But at a time I also became discouraged and worried about my future outlook. During my second semester of freshman year and going into sophomore year in college, I was still trying to figure out how to study properly and the troubles in physics and organic chemistry became a nightmare. On top of courses being difficult, I was also involved in a dance team, an active runner, and employed as an undergraduate peer advisor and TA, which became hard to balance. Sacrifices were made, which I came to realize is what a physician's job entails. I had never faced more of a…
