Join us in British Columbia’s world-famous resort destination for the premier pharmacy conference of the year. More than 300 delegates from B.C. and across Canada meet to network, learn and advance their careers in community pharmacy and the health-care sector. This year’s conference is at the stunning Fairmont Chateau Whistler, where you can also enjoy a round of golf, hiking, shopping or strolling in the village.
CONNECT WITH PHARMACISTS FROM ACROSS B.C.
- This year’s theme is Connect 2017.
Topics will focus on the many ways community pharmacists and pharmacy businesses can build connections, including with patients, inter-professionally and online. - Knowledge and real-life strategies
We draw from the best in the Canadian pharmacy field to educate, inform and inspire you to move your career and organization forward. You’ll leave with knowledge and real-life strategies you can apply professionally. - Continuing education credits
This year’s annual conference is accredited under the Canadian Council on Continuing Education in Pharmacy (CCCEP# 1092-2017-2083-C-P), and gives practicing pharmacists 8.5 continuing education units to count toward their annual 15-hour learning requirement.
