The ongoing education and training of South-East Regional Health Authority pharmacy staff is of the utmost importance. Opportunities are provided to pursue continuing education events. Pharmacists have access to software and Internet sites that provide up-to-date drug information and clinical therapeutic guidelines. In addition, a collection of drug information resources (e.g. pharmacy-related journals and texts), which complements the Authority's library collection, is available to pharmacists.
South-East Regional Health Authority is actively involved in undergraduate education programs for pharmacy and pharmacy technician students and offers full-time summer positions for pharmacy students.
Pharmacy Services has been involved in several practice-based research projects. Recent studies include: "Outcome Measurements of a Pharmacist-Directed Seamless Care Service;" "Audit of Patient Outcomes Related to Use of a Medication Self-Management Assessment Tool in a Hospitalized Geriatric Population;" and "Hospital Pharmacists' Work Satisfaction: A Maritime Provinces' Perspective."
