¶ … Pharmacy Program
As someone who enjoys helping people, I have always been interested in pharmacy work. Currently, I work as a pharmacist at the National Guard Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I graduated from King Saud University's College of Pharmacy and hold a bachelor's degree in pharmaceutical science. Preparing to work as a pharmacist was not easy, but I am a hard worker who is very dedicated to anything I do for myself and for others. My current goal is to obtain a pharm.D degree, and then follow that up with a specialization in one of my areas of interest - infectious disease, transplants, or pediatrics. The Pharm.D program will provide me with the opportunity to further refine the skills that I already have and will allow me to work at meeting the challenges of a health care environment that is always changing. By getting into the program, I hope to learn how to provide the best medical care to every individual based on the current therapies that are available. Medicine is always changing (Lakely, 2003; Reichers, Wanous, & Austin, 1997; Schein, 1992), and I want to be part of the excitement of that change.
One of the best ways I can stay involved in medicine...
Because there are so many new medication options available to all types of patients today, having a pharm.D degree will put me on the cutting edge where medicine is concerned and allow me to help a large number of people live better (and longer) lives. I will be successful in my career because I care deeply about other people and have a true desire to help them, which is something a person working in the medical field really needs in order to do well and in order to provide the largest number of people with the maximum benefit. Not everyone is committed to helping people, and sometimes there is a shortage of people who are concerned about the lives of others. I want to help fill that gap.
As a candidate for the pharm.D program, I fully and firmly believe that I have the intellect, talents, and skills that are necessary to be successful. Just getting through the program is not my goal, as I want to be the best I can be and receive high marks that show I have what it takes to be a pharmacist. Based on the knowledge I have of your pharm.D program, I feel…
