What Is Your Personal Skills And How You Use Your Personal Skills In The Shcool Personal Statement

What Are Your Unique Personal Skills, and How Are You Going To Apply Them to Succeed in Pharmacy School and as a Pharmacist?
Pharmacy is a profession where scientific skills are appreciated; however, many people do not understand the importance of social skills as well. To enable me to succeed in this profession, I have two unique skills. I have excellent communication skills and I conduct myself with integrity and responsibility. At the pharmacy school, communication skills will enable me to interact well with my colleagues at school because team work is important in completing tasks and assignments. A pharmacist should be able to interact with people, be welcoming and warm towards those seeking treatment. This will allow the patient to feel at ease with the pharmacist and be able to share details which may be highly sensitive and private.
I am a naturally social person who enjoys relating with different people. I have learnt a lot as a result of communicating with people from different walks of life. This has led me to develop respect for the diversity among different people. I have also had a unique opportunity to sharpen my communication skills further through a voluntary program for autistic children which I have worked with. Autism is a disorder which mostly affects communication and social skills, and I learnt how to communicate with autistic patients and even use gestures with those who were severely affected. I also had to practice great patience when working with these children, who despite the difficulties they faced still require understanding and love like other children.
Pharmacists usually meet patients who are often worried and sick and it is important the pharmacist should be caring and concerned. Pharmacists must also maintain a special relationship of trust and confidentiality with their patients. I believe in honor and integrity, and carrying out my duties with dedication and perseverance. At pharmacy school, concern for others and trustworthiness promotes teamwork and unity. As a pharmacist, I will have access to highly confidential information about a patient, and it is important that the patient trusts me to keep medical records confidential. I am currently working as a laboratory technician for a company that manufactures dietary supplements. As part of my duty I have to attend conferences where I address claims, complaints, and inquiries about our products, testing procedures, and results. In such situations, it is important that I deal with the public with integrity and honesty, and answer all questions as frankly as possible. As a result, the clients trust me when I serve them. It is especially important to deal with complaints as carefully and as directly as possible, so that customers can trust and have confidence in me and the company I represent.
Pharmacy is indeed a noble profession where the relationship between the pharmacist and the patient must be like that of a close friend. The pharmacist must be able to talk to and advise the patient, as well as keep information private. I possess a skill set which uniquely positions me to be an excellent pharmacist to my patients and a valuable teammate to my colleagues at the School of Pharmacy. Apart from the scientific ability I possess to succeed, I have excellent communication skills, which is vital for a healthy relationship with my patients and colleagues. I also value integrity and honor, which are necessary to maintain confidentiality with my patients and colleagues at the School of Pharmacy.
