Available Learning Activities

All pharmacy professionals in BC must complete a minimum of 3 hours of learning per year related to Indigenous Cultural Safety, Cultural Humility, and Anti-racism (ICSH/AR).

These hours will count toward the existing 15-hour annual continuing education (CE) requirement, and you may choose accredited or non-accredited learning activities.

Both accredited and non-accredited learning activities related to Indigenous cultural safety, cultural humility, and anti-racism can satisfy the new requirement. This includes courses, webinars, workshops, self-directed study, experiential learning, and more.

The following is a list of ICSH learning resources to help guide you as you begin your learning journey.

Please note: This list serves as a starting point. Registrants are encouraged to seek further opportunities and take initiative in their respective learning journeys.

CPBC will actively support you along your learning journey by maintaining a list of educational resources, proposing diverse learning opportunities, developing practical guides, and providing direct assistance when needed.

Learning resources will be maintained and refreshed based on feedback, emerging knowledge, and opportunities.
