Re: Position of President-Elect CAPhO 
 
Hello fellow CAPhO Members, 
 
My name is Philip Shaheen and I would like you to consider me for the upcoming 
position of CAPhO President-Elect. 
 
I have been an oncology pharmacist at the Cape Breton Cancer Centre since late 
2010 and a CAPhO member for the last 4 years. 
 
I serve on various local and provincial cancer care groups and am currently involved 
in CAPhO’s Communications Committee as well as the CAPhO 2020 working group. 
 
I enjoy my current involvement in CAPhO but I have a strong passion to do even 
more to give back to our profession. I have a vision of CAPhO continuing to be the 
leading example of pharmacy specialization in Canada, and would like to be an 
integral part of that vision.  I would be a privilege to serve you as President Elect to 
share that vision with you.  Please review my CV and I welcome any questions that 
you may have.  Thank you for your consideration. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Philip Shaheen
