Strategic Planning
The scope of practice for pharmacists in Alberta is the broadest in the world.
Many services that once required an appointment with a family doctor can now be provided by an Albertan pharmacist, including provision of health advice, precision medicine, disease screening, injections and vaccinations, prescriptions, and referrals.
In Alberta, pharmacy is much more than dispensing pills. Our faculty is positioned to serve a transformative role with research and education that will drive policy decisions, implementation, and support for this integral new approach to healthcare as we educate future pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists.
Our Faculty excels in transferring its research to the marketplace.
Research has always been the strength of the faculty. Our academic staff's research interests are the most diverse on campus. Gain your Masters of Science or PhD in an environment that brings life-saving research to the real world and is situated in one of Canada's best emerging biotech and drug development landscapes.
