Although first reports indicate that things are going well, we will nonetheless diligently appraise the program and its impact . . . and try to do even better. T hrough SPEP, students, practitioners and faculty are working together to enhance pharmacy practice. Providing care that is focused on individual patients is a guiding principle for all SPEP activities. Feedback from pharmacists and students confirm that the plan is working. Patients appreciate and are benefiting from this endeavour.
Students are excited to see that their care can make a difference.
The Faculty is pleased with these outcomes. T his is the first issue of Network published since June 1997. We suspended production of the last two issues to prepare for students' rotations. SPEP is now officially underway, and this issue reports on how it's going. Teaching Associates have agreed to continue to move their practices towards greater focus on patients, and to facilitate and assess student learning.
