Every fall we hold Pharmacy Research Day, as part of Memorial University's Research Week across campuses. This year, the School of Pharmacy's Research Day is day, November 27, 2026. It's a chance for us to highlight faculty and student research here in the school, while continuing to build and promote a culture of research.

Pharmacy Research Day celebrates advancements in healthcare collaboration, drug discovery and delivery, health outcomes, and teaching and learning research in pharmacy.
