Today, our graduates are acknowledged as outstanding pharmacy professionals, and the work of our academic staff is respected nationally and internationally. To continue graduating the best students in Canada, we need to attract the best students.
Scholarships are key to recruiting the best.
As tuition fees rise, many students have to work part-time, or extend their programs, to pay for their education. The practical experience component of our program, which can involve students transferring to other centers for six weeks at a time, adds to the cost. Scholarships and bursaries can offset these financial pressures. To recruit outstanding students, to ensure that our students can focus on their education, the Faculty is seeking support for scholarships and bursaries. To stay on top of pharmacy education in Canada, we will reform our curriculum to respond to new developments in the profession, in health care and in learning technology.
