The Membership Committee Announces a New Program: The CSHP NS Branch Membership Committee is pleased to announce the launch of its "Pharmacist Shadowing Program".  This program provides up to $1500 financial support for a Branch member to spend time at a host institution under the supervision, or in collaboration, with a mentor in a chosen therapeutic, research or administrative area.  The goal of the program is to allow the applicant to expand their clinical, research or administrative knowledge.

For details on this program please go to the Membership Section of the website and select Pharmacist Shadowing Program.  Expect to hear more about this exciting program during Pharmacy Awareness Week (March 1-5).

The CSHP NS Branch would like to congratulate Anne Marie Whelan on becoming a CSHP Fellow in 2009.  Fellow recognition is conferred by the CSHP Board of Fellows upon individuals who have demonstrated noteworthy, sustained service and excellence in the practice of pharmacy in an organized healthcare setting.  Anne Marie will be officially recognized at the 2010 Professional Practice Conference on February 1, 2010.

Congratulations to Neil MacKinnon, Professor and Associate Director of Research at the College of Pharmacy, who was recently announced as the new President Elect for CSHP.  As well, Neil also chairs the PSN Coordinating Committee.  We look forward to your leadership over the next 3 years, Neil!
