Most importantly, we have helped you to prepare for an exciting and rewarding future in pharmacy. As UBC Pharm Sci alumni, you are extremely well equipped for a variety of career opportunities, which could be in pharmacy practice, research or teaching, or in a host of other disciplines. Many of you will go on to influence the evolution of policy and practice in British Columbia and beyond. The knowledge and skills you have acquired during your time with us will directly benefit your patients and create a real and lasting impact on society as a whole. Today’s reception is in honour of you, and while it marks the end of your journey with us as students it signifies your new journey with us as partners in one of the most respected professions in the world. We very much hope you will continue learning and connecting with us throughout your career. We are proud of each and every one of you.
