The possibilities of science always fascinated me. When I first read a chapter on The Human Genome Project , I came to know that it was one of the greatest achievements of Bio-informatics methods, then it had a great impact on my thinking about how science can play a key role in understanding the elements of nature at minute level. For collecting this sort of information of zillions of genes and maintaining it would not have been possible without the invention of computers. My interest towards computing and programming started when I was first introduced to HTML programming in my school. Then creation of basic web pages with some lines of code amused me so much that I have developed a new curiosity to understand the extent to which these computers …show more content…

What particularly appealed to me was the way of tackling various illnesses, management strategies and personalized patient treatment. I could put my theoretical knowledge into practice during my internship. I was interned as a Clinical Pharmacist along with healthcare professionals in various departments such as Surgery, Dermatology, Pediatrics and General Medicine. I was successful to practice “Calculating the safe dosage of different medications” depending upon the patient’s condition and their body mechanisms. During this time, I came across various patient-related services including — collecting exhaustive patient medication and medical history, conducting patient counseling on medications and disease states, keeping a vigilant eye on identifying the drug interactions and reporting the serious adverse events within the scheduled time. My graduation research project “DRUG UTILIZATION EVALUATION IN MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION PATIENTS ADMITTED IN TERTIARY HOSPITAL” was the first step towards finding out the effects of various medications on the human body. It made me delve deep into cardiovascular complications in critical care and understand the various loopholes
