Admissions First Laid Eyes On Essay

My lifelong dream is to design new medicines, to craft them according to the needs of the human community as well as the demands of the industry. While I love working directly with the public, I know that my talents and my ability to help others lie in scientific pharmaceutical research. I have a natural affinity for lab work and know that I will be able to come up with creative solutions to heretofore unsolved medical problems. My temperament also lends itself to the work of a researcher, as I am patient and can spend long hours spent in silence, with my main daily conversations with colleagues pertaining to lab work.

The knowledge I gain in pharmacy school will lead me toward the exact areas of specialty that I will be able to capitalize on later, as a professional. While in school, I will not only dedicate myself fully and passionately to my academic work but I will also seek out every opportunity I have to work hands-on in laboratories as a lab assistant, volunteer, or intern. Already I am immersing myself in the top academic journals of the field and so am familiar with research methodologies, major names in the industry, and recent theories and breakthroughs. While I participate in my doctoral studies I will finally have the opportunity to have my own work published, in conjunction with the esteemed faculty at the university and with my fellow students. I look forward to working with your faculty on their work, and have selected this school especially because of the caliber and academic focus of the pharmacy school.

Whether I eventually find work in the private or non-profit sector, or within academia,...

Regardless of the actual organization for which I work, I would most enjoy being part of a large research team so that I can brainstorm with others and keep abreast of the latest medical breakthroughs. However, I hope to work for pharmaceutical companies or medical research organizations that retain strong ethical standards. Because I am aware of the political and economic imbalances in the American health care system, I would like very much to part of the solution and not of the problem. Politics is not my domain, however, and while I will keep generally keep my head out of politics, as a pharmacist I will always be vocal about how I feel our industry should operate.
Ideally, all persons on the planet will have access to the medicines they need to be healthy and well. Until then, all I can hope for is that I can be at the forefront of exciting new research. The main inroads I see at the moment are in psychopharmacology and in drugs that inhibit the progress of debilitating diseases like AIDS and cancer. For years, the key breakthroughs in health and healing have been in the realm of pharmacy and I am excited to be a part of this challenging industry.
