Welcome From a stick to bite on to anaesthetics. From bread moulds to antibiotics. From medication dispensing to patient-centred care. Discover the Story of Medicines. The only exhibition of its kind at any Pharmacy school in North America, the Story of Medicines spans the first and mezzanine level floors in the Pharmaceutical Sciences Building at the University of British Columbia. This free, interactive exhibition explores the contribution of Pharmacy to human health and answers many common questions about the profession.
