We applaud all of you for acknowledging the shared commitment and responsibility of educating the pharmacists of tomorrow. Your expertise and commitment to the profession are essential in preparing UBC pharmacy students for their entry to practice. The Pharm Sci program and its students deeply appreciate the positive and long-lasting impact your mentoring offers in facilitating the personal and professional growth of new pharmacists.
