About Us

We are a team of pharmacists, educators, researchers, and students affiliated with UBC’s Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences.


We are based in Vancouver, British Columbia, on the ancestral, traditional, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We acknowledge the many lands and territories where we teach, study, and practice.

Our hope for the world

We envision a world where all 2SLGBTQ+ people have access to pharmaceutical care.

Why we’re here

We empower 2SLGBTQ+ people through compassionate and dignified pharmaceutical care, so they may be active and confident participants in their own health without the fear of discrimination.
