  • ANNUAL REPORT 2009 - 2010 from the Director
    School of Pharmacy ANNUAL REPORT 2009 - 2010 From the Director I am very pleased to present Memorial University’s School of Pharmacy 2009- 2010 annual report. This report provides an overview of how our program is affecting the future of health care in Newfoundland and Labrador and shows our appreciation to our alumni, friends and corporate partners who make this possible. For over 20 years, the School has been growing as a place of innovation, creativity and excellence in pharmacy education. Since 1989, we have graduated 702 students. We are proud to know that they now work in every corner of our province and country, as well as around the world, in all aspects of pharmaceutical practice and research. Our need to continue this growth is spurred by a regional urgency for more pharmacists in our health care system. During the past year we have been engaged in a number of activities as we plan to increase student enrolment. The lack of physical facilities to accommodate larger classes and faculty and staff present unique challenges. In their 2009 review, the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs identified the School’s growth is at risk due to inadequate space and facilities. We will continue to work with government to address this challenge, expand the program and satisfy the requirement for more pharmacy graduates to help meet the health care needs of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. I am extremely proud of the accomplishments of our faculty, staff and students and I am glad you are taking the time to review this report.
