Join us at Independent Pharmacy Night to learn about the opportunities and challenges of independent pharmacy practice. We bring together students, and pharmacy owners from independent pharmacies across Alberta to share their advice, experiences, and opportunities in a business casual setting.You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions in small groups with each of the pharmacy owners, including many that are looking to hire.
