Student Talks Video Series – Highlighting the Pharm Sci Student Experience

Are you contemplating Pharmacy as a career choice and wondering what life as a Pharm Sci student is like? Are you a first year student who is curious about how to make the most of your four years here? Or maybe you would just like to be inspired by and learn more about your classmates. Either way, we are here to help!

The Student Talks video series was launched earlier this year with the intent to highlight Pharmacy student leaders. Each episode profiles a different undergraduate student – showcasing their day-to-day routines and delving into why they chose to study here at UBC Pharm Sci.

The first episode of Student Talks followed then fourth-year student and BCPhA Student Ambassador Aaron Sihota, who commenced as a student senator for PhUS and later became President of the society.  Watch below to learn more about Aaron’s experiences and why he chose pharmacy as a profession:

The next episode introduced then third-year student, Rho Chi Honour Society President and BCPhA Student Ambassador Renée Dagenais. Renée has also been involved as a student member of the CSHP through which she participated in the student mentorship program. Learn more about Renée below:

As you can see, there is a tremendous range of opportunities available to become more deeply involved in the UBC Pharm Sci student community. To learn more, check out our previous blog post on this topic.
