The Bachelor of Pharmacy Year 4 cohort completed their PR4191 SCI-PhI Project this semester. The “Student-led Collaborative Innovative Pharmacy Inquiry” (SCI-PhI) Project aimed to provide opportunities for creative inquiry connected to the real world, using rigorous academic approaches in the derivation of innovative solutions. Although this was a first foray into research for most of the students, we are proud and heartened by the quality of their work. A number of these projects have since won awards at conferences or are currently being written-up for publication. CONGRATULATIONS to everyone for your excellent work!
