Mainly our goal is to become a pharmacist.
What is this mean?
Any interpretaton people who took AP or Honor Eng class

Discuss the development of your interest in pharmacy. How has your background and experience played a part in this development-Loma Linda
This means what cause you pursue your goal as pharmacist
& what background & experience played the role to decide

I guess it is UPPER ENG. I like Pacific U one, Easy and simple.

pakcw.....I can't stress strongly enough how important communication is within the practice of pharmacy.

You are not writing in complete sentences with correct construction, tenses & punctuation. You really need to work with someone who can help you with your written & verbal communication skills.

What might happen is you will write an essay for your application, not understanding the question asked. Then....at some point during a secondary application or actual interview, you might be requested to write a statement or answer questions, and you'll be sunk.

For CA, you need to pass a verbal english communication test. I don't know if that is a requirement where you are, but it would be to your benefit.

Now...try to rewrite your question with the actual question you want answered. Do you not understand the words used? Or do you have questions about the concepts which they are asking?

Let us know....but try to formulate your questions correctly - its good practice!

Regarding:we will write an essay for our applicaton, not understanding the question. I learned during HCOP that we should address what they are asking us. In order to address I feel like I have to understand clearly what they are asking us to write. However I read few times for this sentence [B]how the Doctor of Pharmacy degree relates to your immediate and long-term professional goals[/B] I can not make a distinguishable connection between doctor of pharm degree and professional goal to write about.
Is it mean that how the doctor of pharmacy degree will play the role in our short-term professional goals?
Isn't doctor of pharm degree same as our professional goal??
What dose the sentence mean by professional goal?
Is it mean while we practice pharmacy profession, what is our immediate professional goals as a pharmacist?
For us degree of doctor of pharmacy is like basement. We will build our professionalism base on the knowlege we learned during process of getting the doctor of pharmacy degree(in my opinion)

I can not even start a one sentence to address that. 🙁

I finish rough draft as what is short-term & long-term goal as a pharmacist.
I know that is not the way they want.

Any common?

Correct me if i'm wrong - but, your short term goals would be in the next couple of years. Where do you see yourself. What would you like to be doing in the next couple of years and how will a Doctor of pharmacy degree fulfill that goal. Then explain your long term goals... meaning 10, 20 years from now. What you do hope to gain from your degree 20years from now? You should definitely link your short and long term goals to have a relationship so the essay can flow well.

I hope that helps. Does it make sense?

You can approach this in a simple fashion - I want to work in a phamacy - thats a job, not a career. If you think about what you want to do as being a pharmacist, now that encompasses not just working in a pharmacy... it involved patient education, provider education, medication management, drug development, education of other health profession in addition to pharmacy students, marketing, strategic planning, epidemiology of drug errors & methodologies to fix them, etc....I could go on and on and on with all the medication related fields to pharmacy.

So...given that.....how does the degree which the university you are applying for (forget the Doctor of Pharmacy part if you are in the US - all schools award that), fits in with your short term goals (which as another poster indicated would be in the first 5-10 years after graduation) and your long term goals (longer than 10 years).

They want to know - do you just want to be a lick & stick pharmacist all your life? Or....are you aware the profession is changing? Are you aware pharmacists are becoming more involved in the management of patient medications, immunizations, etc...& will require skills which may go beyond the basic drug knowledge you will be given. For the short term, you may need to pay off loans, obtain experience, do a residency or fellowship. For the long term.....I don't know what you want, but they want to see you be able to articulate something beyond filling rxs.

I don't know what school this is....but....they apparently are seeking candidates who have vision beyond just filling rxs endlessly. They seem to want folks who will use the education they are given as a springboard to develop their own personal plan of continuing their own education. All of this may be inconsequential if you are speaking about a foreign school, which I know nothing about.

So...you need to think long and hard about your goals. A school does not want your goal to be just job training - that is not a university oriented goal, particularly one which has any research or is affiliated with a teaching medical center.

Those are my 2 cents!
