Well today marks my last day of fourth year placements and what a great placement to finish with!

Time to enjoy the few moments of freedom before the crushing stress of PEBCs kick in 😅

Good news! In #Budget2024 the government announced its intent to permanently expand the Canada Student Loan Forgiveness Program to include other health professionals working in rural and remote communities, including #pharmacists!

This is a big win for pharmacy!

In 2017 @AlbertaPharmacy banned pharmacies offering inducements for prescriptions (i.e. reward programs). Hoping something similar can be done here..
Patients should get to choose who they receive care from, not their insurance company.

Nothing more nerve wracking than being newly injection certified and entering flu/covid immunisation season 💉😬😬

Yes, everyone should get an updated Covid-19 vaccine https://t.co/ukbfj8w0Ou via @statnews

Many reasons, including:
1) There is little downside. The vaccines are extremely safe.
4) Vaccination likely reduces the risk of long Covid.
5) Fewer infections mean less transmission.

Know what matters more than fancy procedures and expensive medications?

Social determinants of health.

I can provide my patients with the best care in the world but if their parents can’t afford rent or food…
