- Deliver lectures/tutorials to undergraduate students in both the pharmacy and nutrition programs (if required/desired)
- Supervise pharmacy students during experiential learning placements at medSask
- Contribute articles for medSask newsletters and content for the medSask website
- Assist, as required, on drug information education and research contracts with various healthcare organizations
- Presentations on various topics (e.g. continuing professional development, consumer meetings) to pharmacists, other health care professionals, and the general public
- Occasional “on-call” monitoring of the medSask phone lines outside of regular business hours (if needed)

**Licenses**: The successful applicant must be licensed (or eligible to be licensed) to practice pharmacy in Saskatchewan
