James is an Ontario pharmacist and Director of Pharmacy Excellence at Whole Health Pharmacy Partners.
The Wellspring Award will support him in completing his Master of Science in Pharmacy program from the University of Saskatchewan, where his thesis will focus on evaluating whether educational institutions are evolving their curricula adequately to train students to provide care for gender and sexual minority patients (2SLGBTQ+ population).
“I anticipate that through my learning, research, and publication of findings that I will be able to influence the education of pharmacy students, and thereby improve access to competent pharmacy care for gender and sexual minority patients across Canada,” says James.
