Brad is a recent Doctor of Pharmacy graduate from The University of British Columbia. Originating from Peterborough, Ontario, he began his post-secondary education at Acadia University in Nova Scotia before moving to Vancouver to complete his Entry-to-Practice PharmD at UBC in 2023. In Brad’s case, the apple does not fall far from the tree, as he had several impactful pharmacist role models growing up, including his mother, grandfather, and aunt. He currently works as a staff pharmacist with the Heart Pharmacy Group, at a clinically-focused community pharmacy in Victoria, BC. Brad practices to the full extent of his clinical scope by providing comprehensive pharmacy services including minor ailment assessments and prescribing, immunizations, injectable drug administration, and medication reviews. He is particularly passionate about infectious diseases and antimicrobial stewardship within pharmacy practice, and through collaboration with prescribers, hopes to bring about positive change in appropriate antibiotic use and prescribing. He is an early adopter and a strong advocate for advancing the scope of pharmacy practice to better meet patients’ needs. As an emerging pharmacy professional, Brad looks forward to expanding upon clinical pharmacy initiatives and continuing education that will enhance patient care, work to optimize medication use, and promote interprofessional collaboration in healthcare.
