Committees

Want to play a bigger role within the faculty? How about improving your leadership skills? Well now is your chance to get involved with the only national undergraduate pharmacy organization in Canada! CAPSI has various committees for students to join.

Fundraising Committee

Interested in show production? CAPSI’s Fundraiser is looking to gather a team of individuals in helping create one of our biggest events of the year: Next Top Pharmacist (NTP).

A little background info: NTP, held in a style of a pageant, will contain a series of trials. This varies every year, and can range from a talents showcase, to a white-coat catwalk. The winner of each local NTP will then go on to compete in Canada’s NTP at the upcoming Professional Development Week, held in Edmonton next year!

So, if planning an entertaining night showcasing UBC’s pride and spirit is your thing, apply now to become a part of our Fundraising Committee.

Please contact the Fundraiser (fundraiser@capsiubc.com) if you have any questions.

Community Outreach

Do you have plenty of ideas for community outreach and improving the face of pharmacy as a profession? Do you want to plan outreach initiatives to schools, health organizations and anything else you can imagine? Do you want to educate the public about health and medication usage, pharmacist roles, hand hygiene, allergies, respiratory health and other topics?

Are you ready to represent UBC student pharmacy to the world?

If you’re ready, we’d love to have you on the CAPSI Community Outreach Committee!

Benefits include:
• Leadership opportunities
• Event organization, proposal writing, and pitching opportunities
• Develop professional relationships with faculty (who will be outreach supervisors/reviewers)
• Teaching and mentoring opportunities
• Liaison experience

Please contact the Community Education Coordinator (community_ed@capsiubc.com) if you have any questions.

Advocacy

This committee is responsible for engaging with regional partners to create various health clinics throughout the community. Successful initiatives such as blood pressure screening and osteoporosis clinics have been able to impact a wide variety of our community patrons. We are always looking to expand our reach and are continuously implementing new clinics each year.
