Biographical history
Formal pharmacy education in Nova Scotia began in 1908 with evening classes at the Nova Scotia Technical College. In September 1911 the Nova Scotia College of Pharmacy was established with a one-year diploma program. One year later the College became affiliated with Dalhousie University, with classes in the Forrest Building, the introduction of a four-year BSc in Pharmacy and the phasing out of the diploma program. 1917 the College became the Maritime College of Pharmacy, with the support and cooperation of the New Brunswick Pharmaceutical Society and the Nova Scotia Pharmaceutical Society. In 1950, the Prince Edward Island Pharmaceutical Association joined in the operation of the College. In 1961 the College was incorporated into Dalhousie University as part of the newly established Faculty of Health Professions, and became the Dalhousie College of Pharmacy. In 1968 the College relocated to its present location in the Medical Sciences Building on College Street, which was renamed in honour of George A. Burbidge, the first Dean of Pharmacy.
