¶ … attending the LECOM School of Pharmacy because of the unique opportunities offered by the school. As a retail pharmacy technician, I have seen how important it is for pharmacists to work with patients, because many patients have multiple doctors and have not provided those doctors with complete medical histories. Therefore, pharmacists may be the only medical providers aware of possible medical interactions or other pharmaceutical contraindications, and cannot be relegated to the role of medication providers. LECOM has a reputation of teaching pharmacists how to take an active role in patient care by being actively involved in disease management, behavior modification, and drug therapy; and I believe that philosophy is one that all pharmacists should embrace.
To me, professionalism means retaining the ability to do one's job regardless of the emotional or situational context of the situation. I believe that the concept of professionalism is especially important for pharmacists, because there are some medications that many pharmacists find morally objectionable. However, professionalism means that one does not impart value judgments on patients seeking care, but makes decisions regarding filling prescriptions based on medical concerns, not ethical ones.

Because incorrect medication dosages can kill people, I did not drop the issue. I called the doctor's office, ascertained that the dosing information was incorrect, and had the office email the correct dosing information to the prescribing pharmacist. While the pharmacist could have been upset, I could not allow my personal concerns about office politics place a patient's health in jeopardy.

After working in the clinical setting and gaining valuable firsthand experience, I have learned many things about my ability to provide qualified and competent nursing care to patients in need. My initial assessment of strengths proved to be mostly well founded, as I learned that character traits like patience and compassion can be parlayed into positive health outcomes when combined with a firm grasp of the necessary knowledge and skills.
If industrialists realize this point, they will stop draining the harmful chemical in sea areas and build proper drainage system. I relate honesty in the same way. If business professionals are honest, they will always produce the best for people. I believe that selling things by fake techniques is very insane.
