September 3, 2010

Health care gives golden opportunity to explore and unfold the art and craft of human biology. This fabulous and fascinating profession attracted me in the childhood, itself. The reason I chose biological sciences as my major is because of my love for science, and the love I have for learning about the human body, nature and the universe. The background knowledge about the evolution of organisms, survival instincts, immunology, drug information has interested and inspired me to become a pharmacist. I am astounded with the intricacy and meticulous procedures in this field, the need for precision when working in small spaces, the technicalities, the challenges, and the need for patience. An extraordinary caring, yet adventurous attitude to help people excited me and from that time, the drug industry became my role model.

The Business of Science course gave me new insight into the Pharmaceutical industry as a science and as a business. This had aided me in developing my approach towards looking at drug industry and health care as a whole. Dr. Treasurywala’s teachings were focused on interdisciplinary nature of strategic planning, organized thinking and drug therapy. Strategically developed drug company’s merging policies, evaluation, benchmarking of drugs, portfolio of products, pipleline of drugs, value chain are all critical factors in pharmaceutical industry. Each step in the drug development process, from preclinical phases to Phase 4, is very important. After the successful completion of clinical trials and the FDA nod, the company has to critically plan and spend money on massive marketing campaign for the launching of its developed product aimed both at doctors and directly at patients. Guest lecturers from Allergan executives had fueled my learning passion for innovation. The synergistic learning of scientific structure-function model and management principles of time, cost, or logistics was a great experience. Venture capitalist’s talk on startup companies and valuation gave me new orientation. These blends have given me a broader perspective to and a better understanding of life and a goal to aim for.

The training of pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and pharmacotherapy has helped to further the analogical therapeutic process. The challenges of researching and analyzing unknown subjects are what I find most enjoyable of academic life. This has developed my experimental skills along with the related theory. It is a rewarding feeling to be a part of an evolving class setting—Team-Based Learning. It is a fun and enjoyable experience to learn much needed skills like observation, communication, judgment, and professional behavior. The alertness, efficiency and other qualities which are needed I would love to inculcate and nurture. The application of these learnt skills for the drug development, treatment, evaluation, monitoring and management of patients would certainly derive immense satisfaction.

Furthermore, I would like to work to bridge the gap between quality healthcare delivery and access. My exposure to this practice provided me with a sense of fulfillment, a motivation to gain more knowledge in pharmacy, and most significantly determination what I want to do for rest of my life in the public health

My aspiration at this moment is to acquire double graduation in PharmD/MBA or MS in Research and Policy. A graduate education can offer me a great deal of intellectual and personal satisfaction as well as constructive challenges. I look for graduate study in order to refine my knowledge and skills in my areas of interest such as organizing clinical trials and imparting this knowledge to related pharmaceutical divisions, improving policy decisions.

The cohesive efforts and collaborative knowledge gained during MBA studies would also empower me to think laterally with acceptance of ideas with an open mind. Your esteemed university has the size and diversity of the highly qualified faculty as well as the availability of varied courses in which I seek. Your institution will give me opportunity to experience in truly State- of art Infrastructure and the chance to interact with distinguished and learned professionals.

I believe when knowledge and skills are shared, opportunities of success are numerous. I believe a real-world education will serve to give direction to my goal of a career in pharmacy.
