Career ready: co-op facilitated learning across pharmacy sectors

Janine Fletcher (Rx2025) reflects on her time as a co-op student at the University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy. She has explored multiple sides of health care from hospital emergency rooms to independent pharmacies and is excited to gain more experience in different areas of pharmacy during her patient care rotations.

“One of the perks of the co-op program is there's usually another Waterloo student that has done the role before you. I always reach out to previous students. I started doing this and I found it was helpful to get insights and ease with the transition into new roles. Pharmacy is a small program, which makes it easier to reach out to upper years and find someone to help you.”
