Projects
LMPS Pharmacy Practice Residents have the opportunity to undertake and conduct a research project during their program year. With the opportunity to develop and hone their project management skills, residents are involved and responsible for all aspects of their research project, including protocol development, data collection, analysis and interpretation.
With the completion of their research projects, residents and their project preceptors showcase their work at our annual Residency Research Night held at the UBC Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Residents
Our LMPS residents are the heart of our program. For the upcoming 2018-19 residency year we will have 31 positions as well; 28 adult-focused and 3 pediatric-focused positions.
Preceptors
Many of our pharmacists within LMPS are directly involved in teaching, mentoring, and precepting our residents. We are a committed and experienced group including a number of Canada's most respected clinicians and leaders in our profession. The ongoing commitment and support of our many dedicated preceptors and mentors is nothing short of exceptional.
