We have an amazing power to impact this world through Pharmaceutical Sciences. New diseases are being discovered in different parts of the world, while present diseases like Cancer, Ebola, Polio and many more, still have no cure. But through pharmaceutical research and development, these illnesses may have viable treatments in the future. My desire is to be a part of this research, so that I can save the lives of numerous people. As the SURF program is intended for the students interested in…

Conclusion Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, the total prescriptions per year in United States have increased rapidly, and the study done above confirms that these increasing prescribing rates are causing significant damage to the country’s health.

This disproves my original hypothesis and indicates that the prescription process is…
