As undergraduate enrollment has doubled and graduate enrolment tripled, there has not been a corresponding increase in the number of scholarships, bursaries and fellowships available to students. In order to make a pharmacy education a reality for students in financial need, the number and size of awards must increase significantly. Please consider funding a student award at the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy and help our students. The rest is here: UofT Pharmacy - Support our Students - Video … Continue reading →

She said the official's conduct was a violation of professional ethics, but did not give details of the penalties he would be subject to, or whether the case could result in revocation of his pharmacist's license.

Pseudoephe-drine-based medicines are to be upgraded to a Type 2 addictive substance, which would make it more difficult … Continue reading →
