Sumaya Alwan
I am currently a licensed pharmacist in Ontario, Canada, since 2017. I completed my Bachelor of Pharmacy at Ajman University, UAE, and worked for several years in Dubai.
I prepared for and gained my practice license in Ontario in less than 18 months. I worked for Shopper Drugs Mart and several other community pharmacies upon licensing. I also worked at Hamilton Health Sciences, an outpatient oncology pharmacy. Along the way, I also completed several professional and continuing educational certificates.
I also have extensive experience working with various pharmacy management software, medicinal supply chain, and pharmacy management. As a mentor, I can offer advice on the following:
✅ Pharmacy licensing pathways in Canada
✅ PEBC document evaluation success strategies
✅ IPG program selection across Canada
✅ Pharmacist assistant jobs, and experience hour accumulation
✅ MCQ and OSCE preparation and resources
✅ License transfer from other provinces
✅ Pharmacy career options including academia, research, and pharmaceutical development

"Sumaya has been helpful to me. I had several questions about the credential evaluation process and university transcripts; Sumaya shared her experience with me in detail, which was very helpful. I am now set to complete the licensing requirements in Ontario, and expect to practice shortly after."
