About
Gilly attained his Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy degree from the University of British Columbia in 2013 and subsequently launched his career as a pharmacy manager in a community pharmacy practice in Vancouver. While in this role, he maintained involvement with UBC's Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences as a practice educator for students completing their introductory and advanced practicums, as well as international pharmacy graduates completing their structured practical training. Pursuing his interest in teaching and mentoring students, he further participated in the Faculty as a pharmacist facilitator to support student learning in their practice skills labs.
In 2017, Gilly transitioned into UBC’s Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences as a Lecturer and Course Coordinator in the Office of Experiential Education. He currently coordinates outpatient practicums for first- and fourth-year students in the Entry-to-Practice PharmD Program, as well as the Structured Practical Training practicum for both international pharmacy graduates looking to attain licensure with the College of Pharmacists of BC and Canadian-trained pharmacists looking to re-enter practice.
Gilly’s interests include developing resources to enhance student learning in experiential education, supporting practice educator training and development, and student involvement in community engaged learning.
