Since 1907, the Canadian Pharmacists Association (CPhA) has responded to the needs of Canadian pharmacists and served as an effective advocate for the interests of the pharmacy profession. As the national voice for pharmacy, our goal is to position pharmacists as respected and valued members of the health care team. We have built a solid reputation for excellence in research and practice development, and we publish authoritative and comprehensive drug and therapeutic information for health care professionals.
