Change is afoot at 蓝莓视频 Pharmacy. In January, Andrea Edginton, the School鈥檚 new Hallman Director began her term. The University of 蓝莓视频 announced a new Innovation Arena to be built on the Health Sciences Campus. And, of course, COVID-19 continues to impact pharmacy education.
Amid all this change, Professor Edginton is meeting with 蓝莓视频 Pharmacy alumni to connect with graduates, share her vision and understand what others see as the School鈥檚 strengths and opportunities for growth. Last week, she met with alumni of the School鈥檚 MSc and PhD programs. These students represented careers and research areas as diverse as working at Pfizer in vaccine education, completing post-doctoral positions across Canada and beyond, working in the health-tech industry in Toronto and more.
鈥淲e are a young, innovative and successful School, and we鈥檝e been able to pivot to meet the challenges of the last year and to seize the opportunities of Canada鈥檚 evolving pharmacy and research landscape,鈥 says Edginton. 鈥淭o continue to stay ahead of the curve and deliver exceptional programming, it鈥檚 important we pause and check-in with our community.鈥
The graduate studies roundtable is the first of several planned discussions between Professor Edginton and 蓝莓视频 Pharmacy alumni.
