Over the past several months, University of Manitoba students had the opportunity to compete at a variety of Canadian Association of Pharmacy Students and Interns (CAPSI) competitions and receive awards or recognition.
Congratulations to Neesha Diocee who took home first place in both the OTC and patient interview competitions, and to Robin Rai for his essay exploring edible cannabis overdoses. Robin will be able to represent Manitoba nationally in 2021.
