Scott Ford is currently practicing part-time as a Community Pharmacist with a focus on all areas related to Expanded Scope of Practice. A Pharmacy Graduate at Dalhousie University in 1990, he then moved to Kingston and graduated in 1993 from Queen’s University with an MBA. For over 30 years, he has operated multiple SDM’s in the greater Kingston area.

During that time, he spent over 25 years as a Clinical Consultant Pharmacist in Long Term Care and was a Certified Geriatric Pharmacist. He also developed a pharmacist referral program regularly doing home visits for high-risk patients, those with mobility problems, and special needs. He has served on numerous Boards and Associations, both locally and provincially.

His real passion is mentoring, coaching, and enabling students and colleagues to achieve their potential. He has mentored many pharmacists over the years, many of whom are current preceptors.

Scott is excited to be part of University of Waterloo’s PharmD Experiential Learning Program as a Regional Clinical Coordinator. He is looking forward to supporting both students and preceptors in the Eastern Ontario Region, bringing forward his passion for the Profession of Pharmacy, and love of the surrounding area

Charlene graduated from the Lesley Dan Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Toronto in 2009. She began her hospital pharmacy career by completing a hospital pharmacy residency at the University Health Network in 2010.  This residency sparked her initial passion in Infectious Diseases where she has since gained over 10 years of experience as Antimicrobial Stewardship pharmacist and more recently OPAT pharmacist at her hometown hospital, Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.

Whether she is precepting pharmacy students, providing education on hospital wards, or teaching in the classroom at NOSM University and Confederation College, Charlene has found mentoring and helping students achieve their career goals most rewarding.  Charlene is looking forward to her new role as RCC for the Thunder Bay area and working and learning alongside pharmacy preceptors and students.”
