Out-of-country vacations can be tricky to plan. Do you need a visa, are there specific vaccinations, can you drink the water? Medications in particular can be challenging to pack. Oversees, a company designed by five Rx2020 School of Pharmacy students, promises an easy answer to these questions.

“We designed Oversees to provide accurate information and convenient travel health services to Canadian travellers,” says Lee Pham from the Oversees team. “It’s a service that provides personalized travel necessities, making travel health planning a stress-free experience.”

Oversees is the winner of the 10th annual Pharmasave Business Competition, a business-design challenge that pits pharmacy students against each other in a battle for a $5,000 prize. Students generate business ideas and demonstrate how their companies are situated to succeed in the current market.
