Join us and celebrate our pharmacy teams during Pharmacy Appreciation Month (PAM) with Canadian Pharmacists Association (CPhA) this March.
CPhA hosts the national campaign to shine a spotlight on pharmacy every year and Canadians coast to coast celebrate the important contributions that pharmacists, technicians, and pharmacy students have made to the health of their patients.
This year’s theme, Discover the power of pharmacy, focuses on the incredible contributions of Canada’s pharmacy professionals over the past couple years. From providing support throughout the pandemic, managing ongoing drug shortages, growing as immunizers and stepping into their role in Ontario as prescribers, our pharmacy teams continue to be incredibly important to our health-care system
Our Waterloo School of Pharmacy students have set up many events throughout the month to bring awareness to the future of pharmacy.
The range of events and initiatives include a kickoff event at the School, a booth feature at the Conestoga Mall Showcase and information sessions centered around immunization education, a Minor Ailments prescribing panel, Down Syndrome Awareness Day and a Trauma-Informed Care event featuring Dr. Gezina Baehr, the Chief Operating Officer at Indigenous Pharmacy Professionals of Canada to speak on the ways that pharmacists can build safe and compassionate spaces for our Indigenous patients.
Stay tuned for our stories this month and thank your pharmacist, pharmacy technician and pharmacy student this March!
March is Pharmacy Appreciation Month. This month, in our #PAM2023 series, the School of Pharmacy is celebrating the achievements of pharmacists and the future to come.
