My Future Plan & Career Statement
My Future Plan & Career Statement
My career goal is to be a qualified, top-of-my-field physician. I'm not sure what type of doctor I want to be yet, but I know I want to provide the best possible patient care by being dedicated, collaborative, empathetic, and knowledgeable. To accomplish my goal, I will attend either University of Denver or the University of Colorado Colorado Springs upon graduation and major in pre-medicine/biology.
Career Q & A
Career Q & A

Q: What is your impression of anesthesia from a pharmacist’s point of view?
A: From a pharmacist’s point of view, I’m glad we have plenty of options. We carry lots of different kinds of anesthesia because not all patients react the same way. They cant tolerate things the same way. And so as a pharmacist or anesthesiologist it’s always good to have choices so that you can choose the right drug for the right patient.
Q: For anyone interested in surgery what are skills they could have, and what should they expect as a pharmacist?
A: As a pharmacist, some of the skills they should have would be extremely focused on detail. I think people don’t realize there are many different versions of things, the devil is in the details. It matters. If you get that wrong you kill someone. The second would be focusing on patient safety. I don’t make a single decision without thinking is this what’s best for the patient?
Q: What are some of the character traits people would need to have to be successful in surgery?
A: In my opinion, they absolutely are top of their field, they usually are the overachievers. They’ve gone to school, they’ve gone to medical school, and now they’re surgeons. In my experience, surgeons can be the most challenging because they want what they want, and they want it when they want it. If they trust what you do then they’re more likely to listen. CRNAs tend to be a little more relaxed. They come from a nursing educational background and so they come from a different point of view of patient care. They have dedication, drive.
Q: Do anesthetists mix different kinds of anesthesia together?
A: We don’t use anesthesiologists, we use certified nurse anesthetists. SO CRNAs. That’s kind of a growing trend in hospitals. They give kind of a cocktail of different medications of different therapeutic classes to produce sedation, amnesia, or whatever effects they’re going for. So they generally get a mix of different things when they go under for surgery.
