The Indigenous Pharmacy Professionals of Canada (IPPC) was established to connect and support Indigenous pharmacy professionals and help all pharmacists provide better care to Indigenous patients. We are committed to creating and promoting pharmacy practice models that respect the safety, quality, strengths and teachings of Indigenous Peoples of Canada.

One of our key priorities is to encourage and support Indigenous youth interested in pursuing a career in pharmacy. To accomplish this, IPPC and CPhA are pleased to offer an annual scholarship that will support First Nations, Métis and Inuit individuals entering post-secondary pharmacy education programs.

Congratulations to the 2026-2027 IPPC Indigenous Pharmacy Scholarship recipients!

Partnership

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action include increasing representation of Indigenous health professionals in Canada as a mechanism to address the systemic needs and health outcome inequities facing First Nations, Inuit and Métis patients. Your support of the IPPC Scholarship fund will help increase Indigenous representation in pharmacy schools, foster safe and welcoming faculties and improve pharmacy care for Indigenous patients.

We have a number of flexible opportunities for your organization to partner with us on the ongoing funding of the IPPC Scholarship. Please contact us for more information.
