As a CPERC participant, "I chose to attend CPERC because it provides an excellent opportunity to learn about current research in pharmacy, connect with researchers and clinicians, and exchange ideas with colleagues. I was particularly interested in gaining insights into innovative methodologies, real-world evidence generation, and their application to improving medication safety and healthcare decision-making".

Get ready to experience CPERC 2027 in beautiful Halifax from June 15 to 18 at the Marriott Harbourfront Hotel. The event will be co-hosted by Dalhousie and Memorial Universities, and the theme is

CHARTING A NEW DIRECTION
