Ontario College of Pharmacists' Publication Survey: Pharmacy Connection and e-Connect

Let Us Know What You Think About Pharmacy Connection and e-Connect

The purpose of this survey is to gather feedback from pharmacists and pharmacy technicians on two communication channels produced by the Ontario College of Pharmacists: e-Connect and Pharmacy Connection. We’re looking for your feedback so we can continue to provide you with useful and timely information delivered through easily accessible, user-friendly and engaging communication formats.
