About PharmAchieve

PharmAchieve, where "Education is Our Passion," is Canada's largest pharmacy training organization.

We are also a leader in offering accredited courses that enable pharmacists to legally perform regulated acts, such as administering injections, prescribing for minor ailments, and billing public or private insurance. Recognized for our excellence, PharmAchieve has been named one of the Globe and Mail's Top Growing Companies for six consecutive years.

Duties
