When I
chose to study to be a pharmaceutical chemist, what I had in mind when I
graduated was working in the pharmaceutical industry, but when I had classes
about the profession and the different areas in which it can perform and what
it does in each of them, I ended up opting for another very different area,
which is what I currently aspire to (for now), which is to work in clinical pharmacy,
helping people more directly.
In this
work probably travel by work topics are very few, perhaps there is to perfect
and innovate, but not very often.
To get to
this work I would need to study everything related to physicochemical
interactions of the drugs with the human body and how they affect it, I would
also have to study issues related to public health, mainly.
Finally,
here in Chile there are not many pharmaceutical chemists that work in the
clinical area, since this area is just expanding, especially in public health,
where only a while ago they are incorporating pharmaceutical chemists as part
of the medical team, for this, I know it is difficult to enter this area, so, I
hope that by the time I graduate, in this area many more pharmacists are needed
and it is easier to enter and be able to work in this area.
