Experts in Pharmacy

Cynthia Widder, B. Sc. Phm., B. Sc. HUNU, Pharmacy Manager - Express Scripts Canada Pharmacy, West

I chose pharmacy as a career because it allows me to connect with patients, help bridge existing gaps in patient care, make a difference in the lives of patients and continue to learn. With more than 14 years of pharmacy experience, five of those years in pharmacy management, I’ve also worked with the Faculty of Pharmacy at UBC and the College of Pharmacists as a member of the Inquiry Committee.

The Express Scripts Canada Pharmacy is the pharmacy of the future: transforming the Canadian pharmacy landscape and the way patients make decisions about their medications. In addition to the day-to-day activity of running a busy pharmacy, I am excited about the opportunity to streamline and continually improve our patient-first services.

As a pharmacist for more than 30 years, I’ve worked in a variety of healthcare settings including hospital, community, pharmacy benefits management, provincial government programs, and wholesale distribution. I have also served on professional development committees focused on improving the delivery of healthcare services.  With these wide-ranging experiences, I’ve developed a unique perspective on healthcare, and how to administer effective patient care. Being a part of Express Scripts Canada is an excellent opportunity to share my skills, and help improve health outcomes for our patients.
