CAPSI Professional Development Week Travel Awards
These awards were established by a generous donation from the Memorial University of Newfoundland branch of the Canadian Association of Pharmacy Students and Interns (CAPSI) in the 2015-2016 year. Professional Development Week (PDW) is an annual conference hosted by a different Canadian pharmacy school each year. The conference brings pharmacy students together from across the country to network, apply their practical skills, and expand their knowledge on various health care topics. Attending PDW is a memorable experience for students to learn outside of the classroom, establish professional relationships with other future pharmacists, and become enriched by the culture of the host city. Valued at a portion of the income on the endowment, up to ten awards will be available annually by application and are open to students who have attended and participated in the CAPSI Professional Development Week Conference. The recipients must meet the minimum academic requirements for an award as defined by Memorial University of Newfoundland. These awards will be granted by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean of the School of Pharmacy.
