Otago School of Pharmacy

The University of Otago’s pharmacy students and staff recently enjoyed an evening of recognition and celebration at the Green Cross Health Pharmacy Awards

New University of Otago pharmacy students donned white coats on 24 February, marking induction into their first year of full-time pharmacy study.

Final-year Otago pharmacy student Sonja Bimler is looking forward to soon putting her passion for primary prevention strategies to work when she begins her internship.

New professional practice fellow Emma Smith is keen to spread her enthusiasm, passion and knowledge for pharmacy as widely as she can.

PhD student Yasmin Abdul Aziz is evaluating the unpaid services pharmacies provide, how much they cost and their impact on patients’ health.

It was a night spent celebrating success, service and white coat fashion at the first Green Cross Health University of Otago Pharmacy Awards held on 11 August.

Two pharmacy students who participated in a pilot interprofessional learning project, together with student physiotherapists, are enthusiastic about their experience.

A group of final-year Otago pharmacy students have launched a campaign to raise awareness about prescription subsidies, and it's proving to be a success.
