English 3, Post 5, 'How can your major make the world a better place'

Chemistry and pharmacy belong to the sciences of health. There are different areas, such as industrial, drug production, quality assurement, among others. But I like the clinical pharmacy area better. And why? Well, maybe it won't be able to change the world, but I can contribute to improving people's health ... All my life I have wanted to contribute to it.

The Clinical pharmacy is a specialty of the health sciences in which the chemical pharmacist develops and promotes the rational and appropriate use of medicinal products. On the other hand, the clinical pharmacist manages the medication therapy of the patient, with other health care professionals.

The clinical pharmacist participates daily in rounds and makes individual pharmaceutical visits in which he reviews and analyzes the source of patient information, for example, clinical records, their daily evolutions, laboratory tests, nursing records, and the establishment’s pharmacy service.

In the future I see myself working at a hospital, involving me in the observation and direct interaction with patients, collaborating in the optimization of the therapy supporting the wellness, the health, and disease prevention. As well, I would like to participate in research that contributes the advances in human health and quality of life.

The clinical pharmacist could help avoid many of the misadventures that occur after inappropriate therapeutic decisions are made at the time of prescribing.

Clinical pharmacists are a primary source of scientifically valid information and advice regarding the safe, appropriate, and cost-effective use of medications. Additionally, they contribute to improved health and quality of life.
