First-year Sydney Pharmacy students welcomed to the profession

The University of Sydney Faculty of Pharmacy hosted a “Welcome to the Profession” event for first-year Bachelor of Pharmacy and Master of Pharmacy students on Monday, April 4, 2016.

“Our students are entering a highly respected and valued profession in Australia and we welcome them to the pharmacy profession,” said Professor Iqbal Ramzan, Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy.
The event was held in the prestigious Great Hall where students were presented with their own University of Sydney name badge and a copy of the FIP (International Pharmaceutical Federation) Pharmacists’ Oath, which they cited together as part of the ceremony to help guide them in their future professional practice as pharmacists.
A number of special guests were invited to attend the ceremony, including alumni, members of the Faculty of Pharmacy Foundation Council, representatives from the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, the Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia, the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia as well as a number of other industry guests.
