In June, second year pharmacy students successfully presented two motions at the Ontario Pharmacists Association’s (OPA) Annual General Meeting (AGM). Rx2021s Bradley Grightmire and George Daskalakis introduced the motions to further strengthen OPA’s relationship with pharmacy students. OPA is the province’s pharmacy advocacy group; it serves as a resource to pharmacists and a voice for the profession in Ontario.
“We proposed both that OPA increases its presence at Ontario pharmacy schools through diversifying their offerings of education and networking events and that OPA establish new student representative positions,” explains Daskalakis. “A committee of students with representatives from both of Ontario’s pharmacy schools will ensure that student perspectives are considered on a variety of matters impacting the pharmacy profession and will strengthen OPA’s connection to future pharmacists.”
