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 Nakagawa Registrar College of Pharmacists of BC
