Giving back through volunteering

Waterloo 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 Waterloo 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.

Waterloo Pharmacy student co-op work term eye-opening experience. Blair McCullough (Rx2024) was attracted to the Waterloo 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 Waterloo’s School of Pharmacy have been volunteering and visiting Region of Waterloo schools to educate the younger generation on what pharmacists do during Pharmacy Appreciation Month (PAM).

Waterloo 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.

Waterloo 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.
