Associate Registrar of Quality Assurance with the Newfoundland and Labrador Pharmacy Board, Noelle Patten is excited about the expansion of pharmacists’ scope of practice and wants to develop the leadership skills needed to support pharmacists and pharmacy techs as they navigate these changes. She will begin studies at McMaster University leading to a Masters of Health Management degree and a Certified Health Executive designation. “Pharmacy needs leaders who understand the challenges facing the larger healthcare system, and who can be a part of strategic effort to overcome those obstacles,” she says.
