For more than a century, the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences has been preparing pharmacists who care for patients in communities across Alberta. As the province’s sole pharmacy school since 1914, the faculty plays a vital role in training health professionals who support the well-being of Albertans.

A key part of the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program is experiential learning. Students complete up to 40 weeks of hands-on placements in community pharmacies, hospitals, ambulatory clinics, long-term care facilities, and other health-care settings across rural, suburban, and urban communities.

These placements are essential in preparing students to deliver compassionate, patient-centred care. However, the travel, housing, and other costs associated with completing placements away from campus can create financial challenges.

The Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Student Experiential Learning Fund helps reduce these barriers by supporting students during this critical part of their training. Gifts to this fund may provide placement bursaries or awards, and support experiential learning program costs.

Your support helps ensure pharmacy students can fully engage in these hands-on learning experiences and graduate ready to serve communities across Alberta.
