Mapping Traditional Medicine Workshops

Certain plants only grow during specific times of the year, making the window to offer workshops fairly short. This project was a collaboration between students from the Entry-to-Practice PharmD Program at the University of British Columbia and the First Nation to create a booklet outlining the workshops offered each season, corresponding with the availability of plants used in traditional medicines.

The project members interviewed the herbologist to gather relevant information. A booklet was created to present the workshops offered by the herbologist and information on the plants’ availability by season and traditional uses.
