Margie graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 1999 with a degree in pharmacy. She then went on to complete a clinical practice residency in 2002. This lead to a career in hospital practice encompassing pediatric medicine, psychiatry, adult cardiology and adult ICU. Upon moving to Carstairs with a young family in 2008, she joined the pharmacy team at the Carstairs Pharmasave and has taken a huge interest in lifestyle management integrated medicine. Becoming a certified healthcare practitioner with First Line Therapy and an Ideal Protein coach has given her the opportunity to provide clients with excellent tools to change their own health outside of medication management alone. She has also received her advance prescribing authority and is therefore a ‘prescribing pharmacist’.
