You&#8217;ll be greeted by someone who has probably filled your prescription before, remembers that you switched blood pressure medications last spring, and can tell you &#8211; in English, Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, Albanian, or Macedonian &#8211; exactly when your refill will be ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s the difference a real neighbourhood pharmacy makes, and it starts with the people behind the counter. For over 50 years, Markland Wood Pharmacy has been a fixture of the Etobicoke community, and much of that trust comes down to a team that simply doesn&#8217;t turn over the way big-box pharmacy staff do. Some of the people you&#8217;ll meet in this post have worked at this exact location since 2004 or 2005 &#8211; that&#8217;s two decades of knowing this community by name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This post answers the questions Markland Wood patients actually ask: who&#8217;s filling my prescription, who&#8217;s giving my flu shot, and why does it matter that the same faces have been here for years? Let&#8217;s introduce you to the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who Works at Markland Wood Pharmacy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marklandwoodpharmacy.ca\/\">Markland Wood Pharmacy<\/a> is staffed by a full pharmacy care team, not just a single pharmacist working alone. The team is generally organized into three groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pharmacists<\/strong> &#8211; licensed professionals who review prescriptions, check for drug interactions, administer vaccinations, and counsel patients on medication use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pharmacy technicians and pharmacy assistants<\/strong> &#8211; the people who prepare, measure, and double-check every order in the dispensary before it reaches you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Front store team<\/strong> &#8211; the familiar faces who greet you, help with over-the-counter products, manage Canada Post and compliance packaging pickups, and keep the day-to-day pharmacy running smoothly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each group plays a distinct role, but at a pharmacy this size, the lines blur in a good way &#8211; everyone tends to know every regular patient, not just &#8220;their&#8221; section of the store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who Are the Pharmacists at Markland Wood Pharmacy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pharmacists are the clinical backbone of the team &#8211; the ones reviewing your prescriptions, catching potential interactions, and administering vaccines. Markland Wood&#8217;s pharmacist team includes practitioners with real depth of training:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tanya<\/strong>, PharmD, completed her Bachelor of Science at the University of Toronto before earning her Doctor of Pharmacy from the State University of New York at Buffalo. She has focused much of her career on expanding what a community pharmacist can do &#8211; helping build pharmacist-run vaccination and travel clinic programs, and working closely with physicians, specialists, nurses, dietitians, and naturopathic and homeopathic practitioners across the community. She has also contributed to the development of Canada&#8217;s first Doctor of Pharmacy experiential program at the University of Toronto&#8217;s Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>So-Young<\/strong> is a graduate of the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy &#8211; Canada&#8217;s largest pharmacy school &#8211; and has served as a managing pharmacist supporting the health of this community for close to two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Slava<\/strong> earned his pharmacy degree in 2007 and has been a fixture in the Markland Wood dispensary ever since. He&#8217;s certified in vaccine administration and has personally given immunizations to a large share of the neighbourhood. He also teaches, serving as a Clinical Teaching Assistant for medication therapy management courses and as a preceptor for Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience students completing their Doctor of Pharmacy at the University of Toronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Does a Pharmacy Technician Do at Markland Wood Pharmacy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A registered pharmacy technician handles the precision work that keeps a busy dispensary accurate &#8211; measuring, labelling, and cross-checking every prescription before a pharmacist gives the final clinical sign-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Angela<\/strong> is a registered Pharmacy Technician with the Ontario College of Pharmacists and a member of the Canadian Association of Pharmacy Technicians. She completed the National Pharmacy Technician bridging program at Humber College, and holds additional diplomas in Computer Networking (Algonquin College) and Economics. Angela has been part of the Markland Wood team since 2005 &#8211; meaning she&#8217;s been double-checking prescriptions for this community for more than two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who Are the Pharmacy Assistants Behind the Dispensary?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pharmacy assistants support the technical and administrative side of dispensing, and at Markland Wood, they&#8217;re often the ones on the phone confirming your refill is ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Loreta<\/strong> has worked in the pharmacy dispensary for more than 12 years and is currently completing her registered pharmacy technician certificate, on top of existing medical secretary and accounting certifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tatjana<\/strong> (sometimes written as Tatiana in patient reviews) is a pharmacy assistant known for going out of her way to make sure every patient&#8217;s needs are fully met &#8211; she&#8217;s mentioned by name in more than one online review from long-time patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who Runs the Front Store Team?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The front store is where most patients have their first &#8211; and most frequent &#8211; interaction with the pharmacy, whether it&#8217;s picking up a compliance pack, mailing a parcel through Canada Post, or grabbing an over-the-counter product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nataliya<\/strong> has led the front store team since 2005. A graduate of Humber College&#8217;s business management program, she assists customers in English, Russian, and Ukrainian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Radinka<\/strong> supports the front store manager with daily operations and has worked at this location for 17 years. She knows many regular customers by name and can assist in English or Serbian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Janie<\/strong> has spent 17 years making sure every customer has a positive shopping experience, helping Markland Wood feel less like a retail counter and more like a community health hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stefka<\/strong> has served as a front store cashier since 2004, assisting patients in English, Albanian, Macedonian, and Serbian. She&#8217;s also trained in hairdressing and helps customers navigate the pharmacy&#8217;s hair care selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Does It Matter That the Same Team Has Served Markland Wood for Decades?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staff tenure isn&#8217;t just a nice detail &#8211; it directly affects the quality of care you receive. When a pharmacy technician has worked the same dispensary for 20 years, she recognizes when something about your order looks off before it becomes a problem. When a front store lead has greeted you by name since 2005, she notices if you haven&#8217;t been in for a refill you usually pick up like clockwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This kind of continuity is difficult for large chain pharmacies to replicate, where staff frequently rotate between locations. At Markland Wood, long tenure means your medication history, your preferences, and your family&#8217;s needs are held in real institutional memory &#8211; not just a database entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Languages Does the Markland Wood Pharmacy Team Speak?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Etobicoke is one of the more linguistically diverse pockets of Toronto, and the Markland Wood team reflects that. Between team members, patients can be served in English, Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, Albanian, and Macedonian. For patients who are more comfortable discussing medication or health concerns in their first language, that matters &#8211; miscommunication about dosage or timing is a real safety risk, and having staff who can bridge that gap in person is a genuine advantage of choosing a local, multilingual team over a rotating chain staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Is a Family-Run, Long-Tenured Team Different From a Big-Box Chain?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Independent, community-rooted pharmacies like Markland Wood tend to differ from national chains in a few concrete ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Consistency of staff<\/strong> &#8211; the pharmacist who counsels you on a new medication today is likely to be the same one you see next season, not a rotating locum.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Personalized service<\/strong> &#8211; with a smaller, stable patient base, staff have the bandwidth to remember your history rather than working purely from a screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Community integration<\/strong> &#8211; team members who have lived and worked in Markland Wood for 15\u201320 years have real relationships with local physicians, specialists, and other healthcare providers, which can smooth referrals and follow-ups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flexibility<\/strong> &#8211; smaller teams can often accommodate same-day questions or walk-in concerns more readily than high-volume corporate locations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trade-off, of course, is that independent pharmacies won&#8217;t have locations in every neighbourhood the way national chains do &#8211; but for patients who live or work near Bloor Street West, that&#8217;s rarely a downside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Training and Credentials Does the Team Hold?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every<a href=\"https:\/\/marklandwoodpharmacy.ca\/about.html\"> pharmacist on the Markland Wood<\/a> team is licensed through the Ontario College of Pharmacists (OCP), and pharmacy technicians are separately registered with the OCP as well. Beyond baseline licensing, several team members hold additional credentials: a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree, vaccination administration certification, university teaching appointments at the University of Toronto&#8217;s Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, and specialized diplomas ranging from business management to accounting. This mix of clinical credentials and hands-on community experience is part of what allows the pharmacy to offer services like travel vaccinations, compliance packaging, and medication therapy management on top of standard prescription filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Can You Get to Know the Team in Person?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The easiest way to meet the Markland Wood Pharmacy team is simply to visit &#8211; whether that&#8217;s transferring a prescription, booking a vaccination appointment, or stopping by for advice on an over-the-counter product. The pharmacy is located at Markland Woods Plaza on Bloor Street West in Etobicoke, and is open seven days a week for most services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Monday \u2013 Friday:<\/strong> 9:00 AM \u2013 7:00 PM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Saturday:<\/strong> 9:00 AM \u2013 4:00 PM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sunday:<\/strong> 12:00 PM \u2013 4:00 PM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Phone:<\/strong> 416-621-2000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. How long has Markland Wood Pharmacy been serving Etobicoke?<\/strong> Markland Wood Pharmacy has served the Etobicoke community for over 50 years, making it one of the longer-standing independent pharmacies in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Do the same pharmacists work at Markland Wood Pharmacy every week?<\/strong> Yes. Unlike many chain pharmacies that rotate locum pharmacists between locations, Markland Wood&#8217;s core pharmacist team &#8211; including staff who have been there since the mid-2000s &#8211; works consistently at this single location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Can Markland Wood Pharmacy staff help me in a language other than English?<\/strong> Yes. Depending on which team member you speak with, service is available in English, Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, Albanian, and Macedonian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. What&#8217;s the difference between a pharmacist and a pharmacy technician at Markland Wood?<\/strong> Pharmacists are licensed to review prescriptions clinically, counsel patients, and administer vaccines. Pharmacy technicians handle the accurate preparation and verification of medication orders under the pharmacy&#8217;s regulatory framework, working alongside the pharmacist rather than replacing their clinical role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Does Markland Wood Pharmacy administer vaccinations, and who gives them?<\/strong> Yes. Several pharmacists on the team, including those certified in vaccine administration, provide flu shots and other immunizations such as shingles, HPV, hepatitis A and B, and pneumonia vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Is Markland Wood Pharmacy independently owned?<\/strong> Yes. It operates as a community pharmacy rather than a corporate chain location, which is part of why the same staff have remained with the pharmacy for so many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. How do I reach a specific pharmacist or team member?<\/strong> You can call the pharmacy directly at 416-621-2000, and staff can direct your call or question to the appropriate team member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8. What are Markland Wood Pharmacy&#8217;s hours?<\/strong> Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Sunday from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9. Does the pharmacy team help with more than just prescriptions?<\/strong> Yes. Beyond dispensing, the team supports services including medication delivery, compliance packaging, Canada Post, travel health consultations, and vaccinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10. Why does staff continuity matter for my healthcare?<\/strong> A team that has worked with you for years is more likely to notice changes in your medication routine, catch potential issues early, and provide advice tailored to your ongoing health history &#8211; something that&#8217;s harder to build with rotating staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>11. Where is Markland Wood Pharmacy located?<\/strong> Markland Wood Pharmacy is located at <a href=\"https:\/\/share.google\/9MB4fqU2eSNNusm25\">Markland Woods Plaza, 4335 Bloor Street West, Etobicoke, Toronto<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Have a question for the Markland Wood Pharmacy team that isn&#8217;t answered here?

Who Are the Pharmacists at Markland Wood Pharmacy? The pharmacists are the clinical backbone of the team &#8211; the ones reviewing your prescriptions, catching potential interactions, and administering vaccines. Markland Wood&#8217;s pharmacist team includes practitioners with real depth of training: Tanya, PharmD, completed her Bachelor of Science at the University of Toronto before earning her Doctor of Pharmacy from the State University of New York at Buffalo. She has focused much of her career on expanding what a community pharmacist can do &#8211; helping build pharmacist-run vaccination and travel clinic programs, and working closely with physicians, specialists, nurses, dietitians, and naturopathic and homeopathic practitioners across the community. She has also contributed to the development of Canada&#8217;s first Doctor of Pharmacy experiential program at the University of Toronto&#8217;s Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy. So-Young is a graduate of the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy &#8211; Canada&#8217;s largest pharmacy school &#8211; and has served as a managing pharmacist supporting the health of this community for close to two decades. Slava earned his pharmacy degree in 2007 and has been a fixture in the Markland Wood dispensary ever since.

He also teaches, serving as a Clinical Teaching Assistant for medication therapy management courses and as a preceptor for Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience students completing their Doctor of Pharmacy at the University of Toronto. What Does a Pharmacy Technician Do at Markland Wood Pharmacy? A registered pharmacy technician handles the precision work that keeps a busy dispensary accurate &#8211; measuring, labelling, and cross-checking every prescription before a pharmacist gives the final clinical sign-off. Angela is a registered Pharmacy Technician with the Ontario College of Pharmacists and a member of the Canadian Association of Pharmacy Technicians. She completed the National Pharmacy Technician bridging program at Humber College, and holds additional diplomas in Computer Networking (Algonquin College) and Economics. Angela has been part of the Markland Wood team since 2005 &#8211; meaning she&#8217;s been double-checking prescriptions for this community for more than two decades. Who Are the Pharmacy Assistants Behind the Dispensary? Pharmacy assistants support the technical and administrative side of dispensing, and at Markland Wood, they&#8217;re often the ones on the phone confirming your refill is ready. Loreta has worked in the pharmacy dispensary for more than 12 years and is currently completing her registered pharmacy technician certificate, on top of existing medical secretary and accounting certifications. Tatjana (sometimes written as Tatiana in patient reviews) is a pharmacy assistant known for going out of her way to make sure every patient&#8217;s needs are fully met &#8211; she&#8217;s mentioned by name in more than one online review from long-time patients. Who Runs the Front Store Team? The front store is where most patients have their first &#8211; and most frequent &#8211; interaction with the pharmacy, whether it&#8217;s picking up a compliance pack, mailing a parcel through Canada Post, or grabbing an over-the-counter product. Nataliya has led the front store team since 2005. A graduate of Humber College&#8217;s business management program, she assists customers in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. Radinka supports the front store manager with daily operations and has worked at this location for 17 years. She knows many regular customers by name and can assist in English or Serbian. Janie has spent 17 years making sure every customer has a positive shopping experience, helping Markland Wood feel less like a retail counter and more like a community health hub. Stefka has served as a front store cashier since 2004, assisting patients in English, Albanian, Macedonian, and Serbian. She&#8217;s also trained in hairdressing and helps customers navigate the pharmacy&#8217;s hair care selection. Why Does It Matter That the Same Team Has Served Markland Wood for Decades? Staff tenure isn&#8217;t just a nice detail &#8211; it directly affects the quality of care you receive.

Slava earned his pharmacy degree in 2007 and has been a fixture in the Markland Wood dispensary ever since. He&#8217;s certified in vaccine administration and has personally given immunizations to a large share of the neighbourhood. He also teaches, serving as a Clinical Teaching Assistant for medication therapy management courses and as a preceptor for Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience students completing their Doctor of Pharmacy at the University of Toronto. What Does a Pharmacy Technician Do at Markland Wood Pharmacy? A registered pharmacy technician handles the precision work that keeps a busy dispensary accurate &#8211; measuring, labelling, and cross-checking every prescription before a pharmacist gives the final clinical sign-off. Angela is a registered Pharmacy Technician with the Ontario College of Pharmacists and a member of the Canadian Association of Pharmacy Technicians. She completed the National Pharmacy Technician bridging program at Humber College, and holds additional diplomas in Computer Networking (Algonquin College) and Economics. Angela has been part of the Markland Wood team since 2005 &#8211; meaning she&#8217;s been double-checking prescriptions for this community for more than two decades. Who Are the Pharmacy Assistants Behind the Dispensary? Pharmacy assistants support the technical and administrative side of dispensing, and at Markland Wood, they&#8217;re often the ones on the phone confirming your refill is ready. Loreta has worked in the pharmacy dispensary for more than 12 years and is currently completing her registered pharmacy technician certificate, on top of existing medical secretary and accounting certifications. Tatjana (sometimes written as Tatiana in patient reviews) is a pharmacy assistant known for going out of her way to make sure every patient&#8217;s needs are fully met &#8211; she&#8217;s mentioned by name in more than one online review from long-time patients. Who Runs the Front Store Team? The front store is where most patients have their first &#8211; and most frequent &#8211; interaction with the pharmacy, whether it&#8217;s picking up a compliance pack, mailing a parcel through Canada Post, or grabbing an over-the-counter product. Nataliya has led the front store team since 2005. A graduate of Humber College&#8217;s business management program, she assists customers in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. Radinka supports the front store manager with daily operations and has worked at this location for 17 years. She knows many regular customers by name and can assist in English or Serbian. Janie has spent 17 years making sure every customer has a positive shopping experience, helping Markland Wood feel less like a retail counter and more like a community health hub. Stefka has served as a front store cashier since 2004, assisting patients in English, Albanian, Macedonian, and Serbian. She&#8217;s also trained in hairdressing and helps customers navigate the pharmacy&#8217;s hair care selection. Why Does It Matter That the Same Team Has Served Markland Wood for Decades? Staff tenure isn&#8217;t just a nice detail &#8211; it directly affects the quality of care you receive. When a pharmacy technician has worked the same dispensary for 20 years, she recognizes when something about your order looks off before it becomes a problem. When a front store lead has greeted you by name since 2005, she notices if you haven&#8217;t been in for a refill you usually pick up like clockwork. This kind of continuity is difficult for large chain pharmacies to replicate, where staff frequently rotate between locations. At Markland Wood, long tenure means your medication history, your preferences, and your family&#8217;s needs are held in real institutional memory &#8211; not just a database entry.

- blog","og_description":"Walk into Markland Wood Pharmacy on Bloor Street West and you won&#8217;t be greeted by a stranger reading your name off a screen. You&#8217;ll be greeted by someone who has probably filled your prescription before, remembers that you switched blood pressure medications last spring, and can tell you &#8211; in English, Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, Albanian, or Macedonian &#8211; exactly when your refill will be ready. That&#8217;s the difference a real neighbourhood pharmacy makes, and it starts with the people behind the counter. For over 50 years, Markland Wood Pharmacy has been a fixture of the Etobicoke community, and much of that trust comes down to a team that simply doesn&#8217;t turn over the way big-box pharmacy staff do. Some of the people you&#8217;ll meet in this post have worked at this exact location since 2004 or 2005 &#8211; that&#8217;s two decades of knowing this community by name. This post answers the questions Markland Wood patients actually ask: who&#8217;s filling my prescription, who&#8217;s giving my flu shot, and why does it matter that the same faces have been here for years? Let&#8217;s introduce you to the team. Who Works at Markland Wood Pharmacy? Markland Wood Pharmacy is staffed by a full pharmacy care team, not just a single pharmacist working alone. The team is generally organized into three groups: Each group plays a distinct role, but at a pharmacy this size, the lines blur in a good way &#8211; everyone tends to know every regular patient, not just &#8220;their&#8221; section of the store. Who Are the Pharmacists at Markland Wood Pharmacy? The pharmacists are the clinical backbone of the team &#8211; the ones reviewing your prescriptions, catching potential interactions, and administering vaccines. Markland Wood&#8217;s pharmacist team includes practitioners with real depth of training: Tanya, PharmD, completed her Bachelor of Science at the University of Toronto before earning her Doctor of Pharmacy from the State University of New York at Buffalo. She has focused much of her career on expanding what a community pharmacist can do &#8211; helping build pharmacist-run vaccination and travel clinic programs, and working closely with physicians, specialists, nurses, dietitians, and naturopathic and homeopathic practitioners across the community. She has also contributed to the development of Canada&#8217;s first Doctor of Pharmacy experiential program at the University of Toronto&#8217;s Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy. So-Young is a graduate of the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy &#8211; Canada&#8217;s largest pharmacy school &#8211; and has served as a managing pharmacist supporting the health of this community for close to two decades. Slava earned his pharmacy degree in 2007 and has been a fixture in the Markland Wood dispensary ever since. He&#8217;s certified in vaccine administration and has personally given immunizations to a large share of the neighbourhood. He also teaches, serving as a Clinical Teaching Assistant for medication therapy management courses and as a preceptor for Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience students completing their Doctor of Pharmacy at the University of Toronto.
