Larry and Jason are innovators. Recent graduates of UBC’s Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences and its community pharmacy program, they created a non-dispensing pharmacy called Clinicare Pharmacists which provides enhanced patient-centred care through collaborative work with physicians, nurses and other health professionals. In other words, Jason and Larry can help each of us understand our medicines, consider best practices for our chronic diseases, educate us about our medical conditions and ensure our patient safety. Larry and Jason have successfully incorporated this model in several Aboriginal communities where access to pharmacies is limited. Both are lecturers in their specialty at UBC and together they have set a high standard for clinical pharmaceutical care in BC.
