A subject you enjoyed studying

It's a difficult question, because I have taken 54 subjects in these almost 5 years of university, I have learned a lot of things, such as molecules, administration, drugs, anatomy, microorganisms, etc. But the subject I enjoyed the most was Biopharmacy and Pharmacokinetics (I even took it online).

Biopharmacy and Pharmacokinetics, in a few words, It corresponds to the study of the set of processes that occur in our organism from the moment a drug is administered to the patient (regardless of the route of administration), until the absorption process begins (when the drug enters the circulatory system).

One the things I loved the most, was that I learned how to calculate with mathematical formulas, also how the drug is dristributed in our body and to know how a disease can effect the dose of the drug (for example, decreased kidney function).i 

By the way, all this a bit contradictory, because this is applied in the clinical area, but I'm not interested in working in the clinical area. I want to work in the pharmaceutical industry, I want to make drugs, but unfortunately that is where the subject Biopharmacy and Pharmacokinetics doesn't work for me.

An expert / person in your field that you admire

Hello everyone, today I want to tell you about the teacher Orlando Campos Jara, who sadly passed away from COVID on May 1, 2021.

Fortunately I had the pleasure of meet him in my first year of university, because he was my teacher of Introduction to Calculus and Differential and Integral Calculos. I remember him doing his job perfectly, explaining a subject a thousand times if it was necessary. He also explained things with great detail and with great ease.

But the most characterized him was his cheerful personality, making us laugh a lot of with their stories, anecdotes or even their jokes in each class. Therefore, his personality caused an atmosphere in classes that was extraordinary.

All this makes me fell a great admiration for Prof. Campos. His death caused me and all the people who were able to share with him, a great pain when we heard the news.

How can your mayor make the world a better place?

When I was a teenager and I was thinking about what I would like to study in the future, the health area always caught my attention. To generate or achieve a balance between the physical, biological, emotional, mental, spiritual and social factors that allow an adequate growth and development of life, always seemed incredible to me (and I still believe it).

I finally decided to study chemitry and pharmacy (x reasons), and make a contribution to this area. Pharmacy has many specialties, but I'm going to focus on two. The first one is the private pharmacy, where pharmacists are the closest health professionals to homes (I'm talking about easier availability), therefore we can help in the detection of health needs, we can also educate the patient (for example, the rational use of the drugs) or oven the recommendation of a visit to the doctor.


On the other hand, the second is the pharmaceutical industry, where I'm really interested in working when I finish my career. It's important the correct manufacturing of the drug, because any drugs that the patient consumes, It must be manufactured with a strict quality control, therefore I think manufacturing a quality drug to help your well-being is very satisfying.
