Are you a pharmacy disruptor in Canada? Are you changing how pharmacists deliver care to Canadians? Are you an innovator in the pharmacy technology space?
We’re inviting licensed pharmacists and pharmacy students across Canada to showcase how you are a pharmacy disruptor. Maybe you’re an innovator in care delivery. Maybe you’re leveraging technology to create change. Maybe you’re introducing a whole new way to interact with patients or work with other health professionals. Big or small, if you're causing good trouble, we want to hear all about it!
