| Summary: | As part of my Master of Science in Pharmacy, I have conducted my Personal Research Project within the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO, Ottawa, Canada). CHEO is a pediatric health and research center which opened its doors on May 17, 1974. Today with more than 6,700 admissions, 7,800 surgeries, 169,600 clinic visits each year, it is also one of the busiest pediatric emergency rooms in the country. CHEO provides leading-edge treatment and compassionate care for more than 70,500 children and youth aged 0 to their 18th birthday, from Ottawa, Eastern Ontario, Western Quebec, Nunavut and parts of Northern Ontario each year. In addition, CHEO is an academic health science center providing education to 2,300 future pediatricians and students in nursing and other health professions. In addition, almost 200 researchers at the CHEO Research Institute's conduct $26 million worth of leading-edge pediatric research.
