Volunteer Experience

Some pharmacy school applicant may have some extraordinary experiences or achievements that would indicate their dedication to pharmacy field.  However, if you are average student, how can you show or prove that you do have dedication to pharmacy field besides your studying credentials.  Prospective pharmacists should have a desire to help others since the main focus most pharmacy setting is to help people.  One could retain some pharmacy experience by working or volunteering at local pharmacy.  Additionally, by having hands on experience, one would make a informed career choice.  In order to optimize this opportunity,  volunteer at the local community clinic. Most of community clinics provide free or low cost health care for the needy or poor.  Most of the community clinics are affiliated with medical and pharmacy schools and may get exposure to pharmacy school.  It would be safe to state that volunteering at community clinic would show and prove one’s desire to help people.
