Jane McKaig is the Manager, Practice Engagement and Knowledge Mobilization at OCP. She brings more than 25 years of experience in pharmacy practice across a variety of settings, including community pharmacy, hospital practice, and professional regulation. In her current role, she leads initiatives that support engagement with the pharmacy profession, facilitate the implementation of pharmacy practice guidance, and advance the development of resources that foster knowledge translation and mobilization among pharmacy professionals.  Focused on improving health system outcomes while advancing resources that support pharmacy professionals in delivering optimal patient care, Jane is committed to exploring innovative approaches that strengthen and modernize pharmacy practice and the tools upon which pharmacy professionals rely.
