Integration Activities (IA) Part-time Pharmacist Facilitator (PF)

Having opportunities to learn from practicing pharmacists is an important part of the student experience at UBC Pharmaceutical Sciences. 

“As someone who has been through the PharmD program, I know the difficulties that can arise from balancing school, work and your personal life. I want to be a PF to connect with students like me who will be my future colleagues and give them the same guidance I received to help set them up for success in the future.” – 3rd year pharmacy student

As a Pharmacist Facilitator with the IA Team, you will share your knowledge with learners while supplementing your own growth and development as a pharmacy professional. 

You must be a licensed Pharmacist in good standing with the College of Pharmacists of British Columbia.

We are looking for Pharmacist Facilitators from a wide range of pharmacy backgrounds to teach in IA sessions within the Entry-to-Practice PharmD Program. IA sessions are the place in each Medication Management Course where elements of current and previous course content are integrated via authentic face-to-face and/or online learning activities in the pharmacy practice lab, large and/or small group tutorial sessions and individual self-directed sessions. You must be a licensed Pharmacist in good standing with the College of Pharmacists of British Columbia. Injection certification and experience in teaching and/or precepting are assets. We are looking for pharmacists to fill regularly scheduled or casual positions throughout the academic year (September to May). Compensation for each session is $180.

“The Integration Activities (IA) labs were always part of my favourite aspects of the PharmD curriculum because I could ask professionals in the community about pharmacy practice and foundational knowledge—without fear of judgement. I now relish this unique chance to give back and share practical insights with students, while expanding my skills and expertise in an academic environment.” – Manrubby, Pharmacist Facilitator

I have found the Pharmacist Facilitator position to be both satisfying and challenging.

“I have found the Pharmacist Facilitator position to be both satisfying and challenging. It is satisfying to work in a congenial environment, supported by faculty and staff to allow me to achieve our common goals which is teaching the students about pharmacy. At the same time, it is challenging as I continue to update my clinical knowledge and communication skills, allowing me to be more clinical and time efficient at work. For pharmacists who want to be challenged and work with a great team, this is the position for you.” – John, Pharmacist Facilitator

Applications for a September start will be accepted until the end of June, interviews to be conducted in July. Applications for casual positions will be accepted on an ongoing basis with interviews typically conducted in January.
