Get ready for Season 3 of the Leadership Series
The goal is to promote entrepreneurship in the profession by showcasing different examples of "pharmapreneurs" from across all sectors of the industry (whether it is store ownership, franchise ownership, programs innovation, consulting services, resources development, product manufacturing, product distribution, new tech solutions, marketing, recruitment, compounding, and more).
51 weeks. 51 young leaders. 51 inspirational stories...and that’s a wrap for Season 2!
In Season 2 of the Leadership series, a young/early career leader in pharmacy has been featured on a weekly basis. The goal of this series was to showcase the significant impact and valuable contributions of young leaders who are shaping the future of the profession, and to inspire new graduates to maximize their full potential and explore new and exciting career paths.

Young Leader in Pharmacy Odette Johnson: "I am driven to be a trailblazer in my field."

The one thing that I would like to accomplish in my career is to help create a pathway for pharmacy technicians to leverage their skills and experience so they too can attain positions in leadership.
Young Leader in Pharmacy Khalid Garba Mohammed, Ph.D.: "Never let anyone tell you or make you feel you can’t do it."

The young leaders in pharmacy must be well represented in the science, education, and practice settings and be willing to shoulder responsibilities from time to time when called upon at both local and international forums.
Young Leader in Pharmacy Aly Háji: "I want to leave some sort of positive mark on the profession of pharmacy as a whole."

My ultimate ambition has always been to be a litigator, and to spend some of my time defending pharmacists and the profession.
Young Leader in Pharmacy James Morrison: "I dedicate a lot of my energy towards equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives for pharmacy."

I hope to move the needle on creating welcoming practices for historically marginalized patients so that they can have equitable access to competent and caring pharmacy practitioners.
Young Leader in Pharmacy Donna Mbamy-Conci: "I always envisioned that I would be an advocate."

I always envisioned that I would be an advocate for patients' and healthcare workers' rights. This vision grew while I was in pharmacy school, as I saw many inequities and discriminatory incidents within the healthcare field. I soon realized that to truly fight for justice, I needed a larger platform.
A pharmacists' journey – one year in. Part 2

In my last blog and now, in this week’s blog, I am providing readers with a sense of what it’s been like for me to transition from pharmacy owner to employee, and I’m sharing what I’ve been doing during my first year with Neighbourly Pharmacy.
Young Leader in Pharmacy Olivier Landry: "Young leaders can play a key role in improving our practice."

My biggest motivation is the direct impact I have on my patients and colleagues. Since I started being involved, I have always kept in mind the wellbeing of the students, my patients and other professionals.
A pharmacist's journey – one year in

Who knew that in my 37th year post-graduation as a pharmacist, I’d still have so much I want to accomplish before my professional journey is complete? What an interesting year I’ve had. November 30th marked the one-year anniversary since the sale of Sandstone Pharmacies to Neighbourly Pharmacy.
