With more responsibilities on the horizon, it’s up to us to provide exceptional care while holding true to the oath we took.
On Friday October 21, 2022, Waterloo Pharmacy celebrated the class of 2022 at an in-person convocation reception after the main campus Faulty of Science convocation. This cohort not only overcame four years of demanding courses but they also navigated three co-op work terms and six months of clinical rotations through challenging times during the pandemic.
“You’ve shown tremendous resilience these past few years and continue to learn and provide patient care to the highest of standards,” said Andrea Edginton, Hallman Director. “Pharmacists continue to be the most accessible in health-care and I encourage you to embrace change and take chances.”
In addition to the class of 2022 PharmD graduates, the following graduate candidates were featured: PhD candidate Rand Hussein and MSc candidates: Chuying Feng, John Kim, Marzie Khavandi and Maya Petgrave.
