| Pharmacy Profession Awareness Campaign Award- CAPSI IPSF - all funds raised from the IPSF Driving Range fundraiser Intro The goal of the Pharmacy Profession Awareness Campaign (PPAC) is to inspire new initiative that increases the awareness of the pharmacy profession. This can be done through educating the public and other healthcare professionals about the invaluable role pharmacists play on the healthcare team and in the community. This also includes educating fellow pharmacy students and potential pharmacy students about the many opportunities available within the pharmacy profession. PPAC events are organized in many countries in different ways, such as holding community health screenings, inviting pharmacists from various fields of pharmacy as guest speakers to school luncheons/teas and educating the public about the profession of pharmacy. At UBC, funds raised from the IPSF Driving Range fundraiser were used to form the PPAC Award. This award recognizes event initiatives, not people, that promote the awareness of the pharmacy profession through educating the public and other healthcare professionals about the invaluable role pharmacists play on the healthcare team, and in the community. Most importantly, the award is a financial support for these events to have a good kick start and an inspiration for new concept, activity or events. The final decision for the recipient initiative/event will be decided upon by a pharmacy faculty member, CAPSI senior rep, junior rep and the IPSF Liaison in November. Initiative/ Event Requirements: - Must be aimed to increase pharmacy awareness within the community OR benefit pharmacy students as a whole - Non-profit or charitable initiative/event - Promote professionalism - Applicant must be a student within the faculty of UBC Pharmaceutical Sciences ( We also welcome applications from student organizations. i.e. Kappa Psi, Yearbook, LKS, PhUS, CHIUS, etc ) - All judges of this award are excluded for event nomination Examples: soup kitchen outreach, pharmacy T-shirts, pharmacy promotional bookmarks, presentations in the community, etc. Reminder: The PPAC Award is awarded to an EVENT/INITIATIVE, not a person.
