Fall has arrived, though it still feels like summer thanks to the exceptional temperatures we experienced in September. The 23/24 academic term began with a successful orientation week for both Pharmacy and Nutrition - a hearty welcome to the 88 PharmD and 24 Nutrition entering our programs this year!! All years have settled into their class work, while our fourth years are experiencing pharmacy or dietetics practice in real time. The college is very thankful for the dedication of our preceptors who still give their time and expertise despite the overwhelming demands that persist in the two professions.
With the departure of Yvonne Shevchuk, who joined the alumni ranks recently, we have welcomed Andrea Tang (Clinical Pharmacy) into our faculty family. In January, we will also include Kelsey Cochrane (Nutrition) to round out the faculty complement of the college.
Just around the corner, we will celebrate the White Coat Ceremony for the first-year PharmD students to mark their transition into the clinically based PharmD program. We thank the sponsors of the White Coat Ceremony, the Pharmacy Association of Saskatchewan, and Federated Co-operatives Inc., whose generous support will help make this year’s ceremony a memorable event for the students.
Below are some highlights of the college compiled by our ever-amazing Communications guru, Jason Belhumeur. Enjoy!
