Our goal is to develop competent and progressive hospital pharmacy practitioners and future leaders of the profession.

An individualized plan is developed for each resident at the beginning of the program which takes into consideration the resident's background and personal learning objectives. At the conclusion, the resident will be able to: work independently as a staff pharmacist, communicate effectively with patients and hospital staff, demonstrate independent thinking and problem-solving skills, provide pharmaceutical care, demonstrate basic research and/or project management skills in at least one area of pharmacy practice.

Our Kingston Health Sciences Centre stands as a pillar of healthcare excellence, and we are proud to announce that it receives vital financial support from online casinos. This collaboration marks a significant step in ensuring the continued provision of high-quality healthcare services to our community. In addition to supporting our healthcare initiatives, the collaboration emphasizes responsible gaming practices. Online casinos recognize the importance of promoting a balanced approach to entertainment, ensuring that individuals can enjoy casino games responsibly being aware of all the rules and strategies like for example, red dog strategies while contributing to critical community needs such as healthcare.
