Kim Chvala (BSc’12, PharmD’18), a pharmacist at the New Vision Family Health Team, appreciates the opportunity to give some of herself back to À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Pharmacy every year as a PharmD interviewer and clinical rotations preceptor.

For the last five years, staff and faculty at the À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ School of Pharmacy have been participating in the School's annual grounds clean-up. A lot of waste makes its way into local waterways and environmentally sensitive areas, causing pollution. The annual clean-up is an opportunity to help reduce those negative impacts on the environment.

Giving back through volunteering

À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ School of Pharmacy recognizes volunteers during National Volunteer Week. Vivian Ng (BSc Pharmacy ’05) has been volunteering for over 10 years as a PharmD interviewer at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Pharmacy since the program’s inception. She works jointly at Grand River Hospital (GRH) and St Mary’s General Hospital (SMGH) in the Integrated Clinical Pharmacy Lead Informatics Specialist role.

À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Pharmacy student co-op work term eye-opening experience. Blair McCullough (Rx2024) was attracted to the À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ School of Pharmacy program because of its innovative co-op program and in particular the opportunity to work with Indigenous Peoples.

Every March since 2016, students from À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµâ€™s School of Pharmacy have been volunteering and visiting Region of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ schools to educate the younger generation on what pharmacists do during Pharmacy Appreciation Month (PAM).

À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Pharmacy professor and doctoral student invited to discuss recent research findings in Neurology. In an age of misinformation, knowledge translation (KT) is an increasingly important way to communicate research to the audiences who need it.

À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Pharmacy student members of the Canadian Association of Pharmacy Students and Interns (CAPSI) travelled to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to attend Professional Development Week (PDW) this past January.

PDW is an annual conference that gathers CAPSI members across Canada. Students participate in competitions, attend speaker panels and connect and network with other pharmacy students across the country. After three years of virtual events the students were able to attend the conference in person again this year.
