My Application Motivation Letter:

Motivation Letter

My name is Liu Wei Chih from Taiwan.  For those who may know me, they call me, Michael.  I am an old IPSFer since I was a freshman.  Touching with foreign affairs really broadens my vision toward an international world.  Therefore, I just started from the 1^st Asia Pacific Pharmaceutical Symposium (APPS) and the pharmacy student union of my school.  And from years to years, starting as a participant, I started to change myself as an initiator and organizer.  Like, when I was the IPSF AIDS Coordinator, I planned an AIDS Campaign for one week long and I initiated the idea of collaborating with the medical students/Chinese medicine students of my school.  Furthermore, in the IPSF/FIP Paitent Counseling Event Booklet translation project, as being a pioneer, I introduced the booklet to my organization/school teachers/the government.  I said, at that time, this is good for us to learn more about counseling skills, not only for the pharmacy students but for the practicing pharmacists.  After all, we made it and it’s a huge success for us to have the PCE happened in Taiwan.

Why I am interested in P-Square?  I think it’s the idea or concept that I gained from the 1^st WHSS, which was held in Malta.  I was once the participant and at that time, I made up my mind to help/initiate the idea of working together with the medical-related students in my country, Taiwan.  And, next month, the dream is going to come true.  Multidisciplinary is the trend of the current healthcare and we, as pharmacy students are one day to collaborate with the medical students or maybe other fields of students.  One day, we will become professionals of our fields and we all know that we can’t do the whole thing on our own.  Like the puzzle, we are only the piece or several pieces of them, but not all.  Without or with only of us, the beautiful picture will never reveal.

I am willing to play any part in this project.  No matter it’s the Administration part, or the Publication and Web Management part, or the Marketing part, I am going to devoted myself to do my best.  Like the saying which is recently the most popular about the Olympic game, “Once Goal, One dream."  It’s my honor to be able to work as a team and work for the P-Square project.

Sincerely,

Michael Wei-Chih Liu (Taiwan)
