"I believe the most important quality for a pharmacist to possess is integrity. A pharmacist with integrity always puts their patients and customers first. They will relentlessly ensure proper care and dosing for all and that their patients receive the best drug options available. Integrity is essential, so I am actively working on increasing my integrity level in various personal and professional situations. I show integrity by keeping my appointments and commitments and fulfilling my promises."
