About Marshall Moleschi
The Canadian Foundation for Pharmacy is thrilled to honour Marshall Moleschi as the 2017 Pillar of Pharmacy Award recipient, to recognize his important contributions to advance the profession. “Marshall has been a catalyst for change within the profession in his leaderships roles in B.C. and Ontario—and all pharmacists across Canada are benefitting from Marshall’s contributions,” says CFP President Derek Desrosiers.
Moleschi’s leadership and numerous contributions to the profession will be formally celebrated at CFP’s annual Pillar of Pharmacy fundraising dinner in the fall.
With a career spanning more than four decades, Moleschi has consistently influenced positive change. After earning his pharmacy degree from the University of British Columbia in 1974, he started out as a community pharmacist in Kitimat, B.C. Only two months later, his employer gave him an opportunity to open and manage an 8,000-sq.-ft. pharmacy in Prince Rupert, where he developed and implemented the pharmacy’s first medication profiles for patients.
