Why I´m choose Chemistry and Pharmacy?

Well, it was a bit difficult to choose this programme. When i was younger, I wanted to study medicine, but also I wanted to study Biochemistry. I finally choose Chemistry and Pharmacy, because I love everything related to medicinal drugs, and because in Biochemistry there is a little labor field, and I realized that medicine was not really what I liked the most. But what I was always sure of was that I wanted to study a science programme. Since I have memory I love science and everything related to it. Now that I remember, I also wanted to study Geology, because I really like the theme of earthquakes and volcanoes, but this programme has too much math, and I hate it. Even when I was little I thought that the weather could be mine, even my aunt gave me a book called Climatic Phenomena, by Michael Alaby. In spite of all the above, I decided to study Chemistry and Pharmacy, and I´m happy to have chosen what I really wanted.
My experience in this University has been amazing, and I like my programme more and more, but sometimes this is really difficult. I have made many friends, and I laugh a lot and I study a lot with they. The most complicated subject for me has been Calculus, that´s the only thing I did not like about my programm. My favorite subjects are Biology and Physiology, and also Chemistry.
 The first semester was complicated, especially by strike, I lost many classes, and I was harmed, but all that has happened, at least for now. In general, the teachers are very good, although a bad teacher made me classes (I will not tell you), and I have learned a lot in this university.

 To the end of this programm, I will do my practice on a pharmacy, but I will not work all my life there, I don´t like it. I would like to work in a hospital, in the specialty of clinical pharmacy, because I like to work directly with patients. It is very interesting, because every day there is something new to do, it´s not monotonous like a pharmacy. I like research, but unfortunately In chile it is not promoted. If y wanted to dedicate myself to research, I would have to go to abroad, and I don´t want to go to another country. I prefer to stay in Chile working in a hospital, in order to contribute positively to the public health of our country.

English at University.

I had never liked the way in which English is implemented in this university. I fell that during all these years I have learned very little, it has not been something profitable for me, I want to be honest. I think we have to find a way in which this subject is less boring for everyone, because at least that´s what my friends and I feel. I even think I could learn English better by reading instead of attending classes. For example, the way I use English is usually reading books from differents subjects. When I had Systems Physiology a year ago, the bibliography was in english; now in Pharmaceutical Physicochemistry, the books are also in english. The use of blogs is one of the few things that I liked about this branch. I think this is a tool that helps us improve our grammar and learning, although I personally believe that I am missing to many things to learn. What I need to improve most is to learn to converse with another person in English, because in reading I have no major pro...

The end of the searching?

In my career nanotechnology is very important. Recently, a professor who is a pharmaceutical chemist (I study this career), through nanotechnology began looking for a cure for cancer. Using curcumin, that is the active principle of curcuma, he managed to destroy cancer cells, but unlike chemotherapy, curcumin does not destroy the good cells, but kills only the bad ones. I really like this topic, because I´m very interested in helping to take care of and improve the health of people. Felipe Oyarzún,  the professor who discovered this, worked with curcumin because all cancers start with inflammation, and curcuma has anti-inflammatory properties. The impact that this discovery could have is enormus, because it would mean the end of a search that lasted many years. It is a great contribution to the health of people, and it would also mean a great reduction in the costs of treatment, because only dose of curcumin is required. What I mentioned above are great advantages, and to this...

Changes to the future.

Imagen
I think it´s important to make changes in the study programme, for example, "Quality Management", which was a fifth year subject, in the new programme this subject was implemented in fifth semester and did not give good results, so I think that this subject should be implemented again in the fifth year. I also think that there are subjects that should be added more hours of classroom and other subjects should be taken hours. My career is quite long, but I do not think it´s a bad thing, because if the career were shorter the workload and length of studies would increase too much, and these are already very high. How I just said the workload is quite high, but it seems good that is so, because in this way we will be more qualified professionals. The infrastructure of the faculty is a topic in which many improvements must be made. In first place the library is very small and there are few books, this makes it difficult to study. It would be good to make an extension in the l...
