Strategies Committee Chair

Pharmacy Representative

Jeff Whissell is grateful for the education and opportunities he has received since becoming a graduate (98’ BSc. Pharm) of the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Jeff’s studies fostered within him an interest in health system leadership, and he has been fortunate to have enjoyed a career that has included agencies such as Alberta Health Services, the Alberta Pharmacists’ Association and the Alberta College of Pharmacy.

Jeff has served as a volunteer with many organizations in his communities including the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs, the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada, Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing, the University of Alberta, the Alberta College of Pharmacy and Streetworks. As a result of his community and professional involvement, Jeff was humbled to receive the Alumni Honour Award from the University of Alberta in 2011.

Edmonton is home for Jeff and his wife where they raise their two children and enjoy the beauty of the river valley through a shared love of running.
