A recent University of British Columbia pharmacy grad, Aaron Sihota saw the need to support new practitioners in developing business skills. Through the help of the Wellspring award he has developed a pilot project with a series of workshops that will offer new grads the opportunity to connect with their peers and with experienced mentors to explore some of the practical questions of working in community pharmacy. “Informing and equipping our new graduates with the tools to effectively communicate the value of pharmacists is absolutely key and needs to be done constantly,” he says.
