At PharmaClub, we believe that the journey of a pharmacy student doesn’t end at graduation—it evolves into a lifelong mission of impact, innovation, and service. In a recent webinar hosted by Dr. Mohamad Hamdar, we explored one of the most important topics for international pharmacy graduates: the Canadian certification process.


Webinar Summary:
Dr. Mohamad Hamdar, a distinguished LU pharmacy alumnus, presented a concise and practical guide to help international pharmacy graduates understand the steps required to become certified in Canada. The session covered:

  • Key websites and resources that provide official information about licensing and certification.
  • Step-by-step breakdown of the process, including document preparation, exams, and timelines.
  • Tips and insights from Dr. Hamdar’s personal experience navigating the system.
  • A Q&A discussion at the end of the presentation, where attendees asked about challenges, alternatives, and career paths in Canada.
