Statement Of Purpose: Pharmacy Technician Assistant
I was a Pharmacy Technician Trainee at C.V.S. during my senior year of high school. I learned that I have a passion for medicine and helping people. The interaction with customers and daily tasks such as filling bins with pick-up prescription bags and restocking medicine taught me valuable skills of diligence during adversity, professionalism, and empathy.
This Fall I was the website editor at St. Edward’s University for the students’ and teachers’ website. I updated information on events, teaching positions, and a variety of topics. Additionally, my responsibility was to check for spelling or grammar errors, organize the text, and make the design appear professional.

    I have been a pharmacy technician for three years. As a pharmacy technician, I have many responsibilities, including accurately typing and filling prescriptions. I answer phone calls, call doctor’s offices to clarify questions about prescriptions, and call insurance companies to get prescription approval. Additionally, when filling prescriptions I use pharmacy math and conversions to calculate day supplies and dosing. I greet customers as they arrive to drop off prescriptions and as they are checked out at the register. In this capacity, patient privacy and customer service are top priorities. I enjoy working as a pharmacy technician because it allows me to help the people of my community, while also allowing me to apply and expand upon my…

    There are many important associations involving Pharmacy Technicians. To pick only three seemed very difficult. Realizing that Technicians have a large role in the pharmacy industry, their job is progressing into more the just “helpers”. Associations provided individual foundations for these paraprofessionals to excel in their profession. Pharmacy Technicians have advanced from clerks to working with the pharmacist directly.…

    My interest in pharmacy school did not happen overnight, but it was a process of learning and discovering. At the age of 30 with a son, a family, and a full-time job, I decided to go back to school and do something entirely different from my previous degree*.

    I have not always wanted to be a pharmacy tech, I changed my major at least 4 times already. My college years started and stopped a few times since I graduated from high school. I left college the first time and joined the Marine Corps. I served in the Marine Corps for eight (8) years as a Communications Operator. The problem for me there was that I did not want to pursue a career in communications. While I was serving I took some college level course and that is where I went through two of my four college major changes. Some might see that as indecisive, I saw it as trying to find the right fit for me. I have since gotten out of the military and went back to school, since I have begun this new path in my education I have also changed my major twice. I went back to school…

    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.…
