About RxA

The Alberta Pharmacists’ Association (RxA) is a voluntary association formed to represent the professional and economic interests of pharmacy and pharmacists across Alberta. Our name “RxA” refers to the right prescription for Alberta pharmacists.

Since 2000, it has been our goal to promote pharmacists as Alberta’s medication experts - accessible, knowledgeable and trusted. Our activities are governed by an elected Board of Directors that dictates responsibilities related to organization priorities and initiatives.
