Empowering Youth for a Healthier Tomorrow: A CPA Webinar Series for Young Pharmacists and Pharmacy Students
In celebration of the Commonwealth’s Year of Youth 2023/24, this exciting new webinar series from the Commonwealth Pharmacists Association aims to equip young, early career and student Pharmacists with foundational skills in research, leadership, digital literacy, professional development and project management skills.
Over the course of six sessions, participants in this webinar programme will learn about different ways to grow professionally and succeed as a pharmacist in the evolving healthcare landscape. By learning from accomplished leaders drawn from around the globe, they will be equipped with the ‘soft-skills’ that a well-rounded Pharmacist needs beyond their hard-earned clinical expertise in order to be successful.
These sessions are designed in collaboration with early career Pharmacists from around the Commonwealth and tailored to their needs. Attendees will be given the exciting opportunity to ask questions of our guest speakers or panelists and to contribute to the agenda for future sessions, making this a uniquely interactive and collaborative learning community.
These webinars are free and have been designed for early career pharmacists, and those studying a pharmacy degree from an accredited educational institution, in any Commonwealth member state.
