This initiative enhances the knowledge of secondary/post-secondary students from underrepresented communities on the scopes of practice of pharmacy professionals and the diverse journeys leading to pharmacy through experiential opportunities. The project has developed video interviews with Black and Indigenous pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and current PharmD students. In addition, six virtual immersive scenarios– addressing topics relevant to students– celebrate diversity in the pharmacy workplace and clarify the scopes of practice for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Finally, interested learners can participate in a cumulative one-day experiential opportunity at the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy (LDFP).
