Pharmacist Personal Statement
Pharmacy is an area of study that allows one to improve the health of others. The practice of pharmacy improves health within communities by educating patients on their health concerns and promoting healthy choices. Pharmacists have credible knowledge to analyze important health aspects for patients. My determination to achieve a Doctor of Pharmacy degree relates to the passion I have grown for pharmacy.

this drive to overcome challenges in my other courses. My past and current experiences in college have taught me that I have passion for the field of pharmacy, and will continue to drive myself to pursue my goals.
Studying Public Health at the University of Arizona as well as being a pharmacy technician at CVS has made me come to realize how pharmacy has a big impact on every community. The study of pharmacy plays a major role in helping people stay healthy. The science behind how medications can impact somebody’s life is fascinating. The idea that I could be the one who makes a positive difference within the community through pharmacy excites me. During my time as a pharmacy technician at CVS, I have had the pleasure being there for patients by providing loyal and responsible pharmaceutical care. I have also been able to work with pharmacists that have become my mentors during my academic journey.
At work, I often see the Pharmacist offer compassion to patients by ensuring their medication helps them maintain a healthy lifestyle.
When I see this it not only makes patients feel better, but me too. I aspire to become a Pharmacist where patients are happy to receive their medication from me. My mother is a pharmacist, this is especially important to me. Throughout my life, I have been able to ask my mother about health-care questions or concerns. Seeing how passionate my mother is about her work, and how dedicated she is with her patients, makes me want to fill those shoes in the future. She has allowed me to have the understanding and ability to know how impactful pharmacy is on people’s lives. It was not until I started working at CVS pharmacy that I knew how lucky I was that my mom was a pharmacist. My mother, being a part of the health care system, is able to understand symptoms and recommend medications that do not need a prescription. Pharmacists take extreme responsibility in understanding what medications their patients need and that no complications occur in the future. Pharmacists need their patients to trust them and I know I could provide this trust to my patients one day.
Working within the pharmacy has taught me a great amount and I know there is much more for me to learn. I know that becoming a Pharmacist is hard work, but I am willing to work for it. The opportunity to achieve a Doctor of Pharmacy degree brings me excitement to learn more. With my commitment toward pharmacy and by working hard, I know I will achieve my dream of becoming a Pharmacist. My undergraduate experiences have proven that nothing comes easy, but all things worthwhile are deserved through
determination.
