Dean George A. Burbidge Award
Maxime Perron
University of Alberta
Awarded to the student achieving the highest mark on the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada's qualifying exams.
Maxime Perron graduated with a PharmD from the University of Alberta in 2023. Her journey in pharmacy began with a keen interest in medication management and the role medications play in people’s health and well-being. She found herself drawn to rural community practice after her fourth-year rotation in the Crowsnest Pass, AB, where she discovered the profound impact that patient-pharmacist interactions can have on patient care.
Maxime has since returned to the Crowsnest Pass as a community pharmacist, where she serves both patients in the community and at the supportive living facility in town. She values connecting with patients regularly in both French and English, which she finds enables her to provide person-centered care to individuals in her community.
