SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS

AFPC has established a number of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) to foster leadership, knowledge sharing and collaboration between Canadian pharmacy schools. Members of AFPC SIGs share a common interest in advancing a specific area of pharmacy education and scholarship.

​

Membership in AFPC SIGs is restricted to AFPC members or invited stakeholders/collaborators. To join a specific AFPC SIG, or for more information, please email the SIG Chair (see e-mails below) or the AFPC Executive Director, indicating your faculty, position and a brief description of your interest in the SIG topic.   

​

The creation of a new SIG requires approval and a procedure has been created to facilitate the process. The template for the Terms of Reference can be found here.
