    Professor & Dean pro tem

For over 60 years, we have evolved with you and the profession. Now, we are poised to truly transform practice in British Columbia, made possible through the Faculty's new facilities that opened in September 2012. Sophisticated classroom technologies are transforming the way students learn and instructors teach. High tech labs and research partnerships with our building partner, the Centre for Drug Research and Development, will further push us towards finding solutions to pressing world health problems. And the resources of the Story of Medicines interpretive centre and proposed Pharmacists Clinic offer our community education about the role of pharmacy in health care. The effects will be felt throughout the entire profession, as disseminated by our students and young graduates who represent Pharmacy's next generation.

In this time of change across all sectors of the pharmaceutical community, what remains constant is our commitment to educate and partner with professionals who can lead us through that change. Our evolution is only just beginning.
