My summer at CPhA allowed me to gain further insight into what the profession of pharmacy has to offer. The chance to experience the non-traditional role of the pharmacist in the great city of Ottawa, while working in the area of practice development, is one I would not hesitate to recommend in a heartbeat. The staff made it a pleasure to come to work each day and my summer with CPhA has truly re-energized my passion and commitment to the profession of pharmacy. The profession is more than simply community or hospital practice so experience the role of a pharmacist in a non-traditional setting with CPhA. Allow yourself to explore what the profession has in store for you.
