PDW 2001 was the third-ever Professional Development Week hosted by the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon; a very unique college combined with the profession of nutrition! On this note, the innovative theme for this conference was Pharmacy ~ A "Whole"~istic Approach, held from January 31st to February 3rd. The attending delegates were fortunate to experience Saskatoon through the flavor of some of the educational seminars - non-traditional therapies such as aboriginal medicine, aromatherapy, homeopathy, as well as more traditional approaches. Hot topics consisted of pharmaceutical biotechnology to seamless care. Dr. Blair Voyvodic concluded the excellent array of speakers, and lightened the mood on Saturday morning, by reconnecting us with our chosen profession, and helping us remember how to have fun!
