Pharmacy

Pharmacists are one of the most accessible health professionals and work closely with patients to assist them with managing their medicines and disease states as well as promoting health and improving the quality of life.

The role of the pharmacist encompasses counselling patients on the best use of medications, providing advice on symptoms, the management of common ailments, preparing and formulating medications and providing health education.

Courses offered will build on the knowledge base gained from the student's previous undergraduate coursework and will focus on material that specifically relates to the skills required by a pharmacist. The program contains two elective courses allowing students to further tailor the program to suit their particular interests.
