From International Pharmacist to Healthcare Industry Professional: Navigating Alternative Career Pathways

I'm pleased to invite you to an upcoming virtual mentorship session featuring an internationally educated pharmacist who has successfully transitioned into Canada's healthcare industry and built a rewarding career beyond traditional pharmacy practice.

Many internationally educated pharmacists face challenges as they work toward licensure in Canada. This session will explore alternative career pathways within the healthcare sector and provide practical insights on leveraging your pharmacy background to build a successful and meaningful career while pursuing your long-term pharmacy professional goals.

During the session, our mentor will share:

• Her journey from international pharmacy education to working in Canada's healthcare industry

• Challenges and lessons learned during her professional transition

• Alternative career pathways available to internationally educated pharmacists

• Strategies for leveraging transferable skills and experience

• Advice on networking, job searching, and career planning in Canada
