Today, the Kursaal Congress Palace in San Sebastián hosted the initiative ‘Inspira Bizitzak’ (Inspiring Lives), organized by Kutxa Fundazioa. This event brought together approximately 500 students from 10th grade, high school, and vocational training, with the goal of advising them on one of the most important decisions of their academic journey: the choice of their future studies.
Among the notable attendees was Dr. Estibaliz Goienetxea, technical director of the Official College of Pharmacists of Gipuzkoa (COFG). During her presentation, Dr. Goienetxea engaged with the students, addressing their questions about the Pharmacy career and the many professional opportunities it offers. According to Dr. Goienetxea, “Pharmacy is a career that combines health, science, and vocation,” and she emphasized the comprehensive training it provides in areas such as chemistry, biology, and pharmacology.
The event was crucial for students to understand the importance of a degree in Pharmacy, which encompasses everything from drug development to clinical application. “The training is demanding, but very enriching,” Dr. Goienetxea commented, as she observed with satisfaction the interest it sparked among the youth regarding the various facets of the pharmacy profession.
In addition to providing a solid technical foundation, Dr. Goienetxea highlighted the continuous evolution of the profession, which offers access to specializations, research, and direct contact with patients. This aspect generated a significant number of questions from the students, evidence of the growing interest in career possibilities in this field.
Finally, Dr. Goienetxea praised the ‘Inspira Bizitzak’ initiative for its role in bringing professional realities into the classroom. This helps students make more informed and conscious academic choices. The day served as a space for reflection and learning, allowing future professionals to visualize their paths and motivations.
