Amanda Michano wins the Rexall Pharmacy Group Community Involvement 2022 Award
Growing up on a reserve, Amanda Michano鈥檚 (PharmD 鈥22) dream of working in health care was sparked by a visit from a pharmacist.
鈥淚 was in awe of the pharmacist who came to help me understand how to use my inhaler for my asthma,鈥 says Michano. 鈥淚t was in that moment that I knew I wanted to help teach people how to use their medication.鈥
