We know that you are interested in learning more about this exciting career, and we want to help you succeed.

Our goal is to not only inform you about the pharmacy assistant career, but to also provide new staff without prior experience the foundational principles required to thrive in this profession.
We’re a small group of Canadian trained pharmacists practicing in Canada and we created this site to share the tools and resources that we have created.
During the pandemic, we hired extra pharmacy assistants across our multiple locations to help us step up and tackle the challenge of COVID-19.
We believe that in order to provide the highest quality of care, pharmacists need assistance from well-trained pharmacy assistants, so we created a training program with a strong emphasis on best practices and error prevention tips from the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP).
We believe that everyone should have access to the information they need to succeed in the pharmacy assistant field, so that’s why we are sharing our program. We’ll also be adding new content on a regular basis, so please make sure to subscribe to our newsletter.
