However, a TA experience changed my mind.<\/p>\n<p>I used to be a teaching assistant for 3 weeks, guiding and assisting 2 PharmD students from US in their Advanced Pharmacy Practice Education (APPE) Program. Although they had not practiced in the hospital as long as me, they were so well-trained about pharmacotherapy that they had known much more than me. I believed it was the professional PharmD training program in the US that made them so competitive as pharmacists.<\/p>\n<p>UNMC has a long history of cooperation with CSC to involve Chinese students in their excellent PharmD program. Receiving positive feedbacks from my seniors, I chose UNMC as my dream school to pursue further studies in pharmacy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Career goals and how you got interested in them: <\/strong>I would like to become a leader and precursor of clinical pharmacy in China.<\/p>\n<p>My grandparents were both great physicians, and I grew up in their small clinic. I was really impressed by their ability to care for patients, and the respect from patients. As for me, I enjoy the sense of helping others, and pharmacists are able to optimize patient outcomes with their rich knowledge, just as physicians do.<\/p>\n<p>With my postgraduate experience in the Department of Pharmacy, Peking University Third Hospital, where the clinical pharmacy is ranking #1 in China, I hold the firm thought that pharmacists really make sense in healthcare, and are heavily needed in China at present.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hobbies:<\/strong> I tend to sing songs and play badminton after school. I love visiting different places and enjoying different views and cultures as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Music you&#039;re listening to now:<\/strong> Pops and country music<\/p>\n<p><strong>Three words you&#039;d use to describe yourself: <\/strong>Energizing, optimistic, and reliable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Name: Ken Chen Hometown: Jiujiang, Jiangxi
