What does CAPSI mean to you?

To me, CAPSI is about having an impact on the local, national and international community. I joined CAPSI when I realized how much I can do to help my profession progress, even though it meant getting out of my comfort zone.

In the beginning, I didn’t know if I would enjoy representing my school as I had no experience, but I quickly realized that travelling around Canada and meeting pharmacy students across the country to exchange on ways to improve what we do is actually pretty fun. It will make me a better pharmacist, and I can say with certainty that it has made me a better person.

What is a friendly tip you would give to your fellow pharmacy students?

Try not to be afraid of getting involved and you will learn more about yourself and the world around you

What is a friendly tip you would give to your fellow pharmacy students?
