MESSAGE FROM THE REGISTRAR

It is with great pleasure that I congratulate this year’s Pharmacy graduates. You are joining a remarkable profession, one where change is constant but is united in one vision – to use your skills, knowledge, and expertise as the true medication experts to help enhance health outcomes for your patients.

I know it is with great determination and dedication that you pursued your education in this field and I know you will continue to expand your knowledge in pharmacy throughout your career. Graduation is not the end of the road, but simply a signpost along the way. Lifelong learning is a cornerstone of our profession, and as society changes and evolves our practice also does. I am confident that you are ready to adapt to whatever change comes your way and that you have been well-prepared during your time at UBC to face any challenge head-on.

As we are accountable to the public, our role as a College is to ensure that the public remains confident that they are in good hands when they are receiving services from a pharmacist; that their interests are first and foremost. I know that you will dedicate your career to delivering safe and effective pharmacy care to your patients.

On behalf of the profession, welcome.

Bob NakagawaRegistrarCollege of Pharmacists of BC
