Pharmacy Appreciation Month is the annual national campaign that shines a spotlight on the pharmacy profession in Canada. Celebrated each March, PAM is a time to highlight the growing role pharmacy professionals play in our health-care system and thank them for their extraordinary efforts.

This PAM, CPhA is introducing a new national campaign that will, over the next year, help to inform governments and the public about the full scope of pharmacists’ education and competencies.

Right now, Canada’s primary care system is under strain, and pharmacists are uniquely positioned to help. But there’s a problem…pharmacists can't use their full education in practice in many parts of Canada.

By allowing pharmacists to work to their full potential across Canada, pharmacists can provide the care they are trained and trusted to deliver.

Let’s stop holding pharmacists back. By fully using pharmacists’ skills, we can make health care more effective and accessible for everyone.
