Bylaws for Comment: Amendments to HPA Bylaws - Schedule C
The College is asking for your feedback on proposed amendments to the Health Professions Act (HPA) Bylaws Schedule "C" Recognized Education Programs by September 12, 2022.
Background
Multiple sections of the HPA Bylaws require that potential registrants obtain specific educational credentials from recognized programs in order to be registered with the College. In addition, specific educational credentials are required for pharmacists seeking certification for drug administration (i.e., injection/intranasal drug administration authority).
Maintaining a current list of recognized pharmacy and pharmacy technician education programs, including programs for injection/intranasal drug administration authority, enables the College to ensure registrants are appropriately registered with the College and certified to practice.
Schedule “C” under the HPA Bylaws lists recognized pharmacy education programs in Canada and the United States, injection/intranasal drug administration programs, and recognized pharmacy technician programs in B.C. These programs are already recognized by national accreditation organizations like the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs (“CCAPP”) and the Canadian Council on Continuing Education in Pharmacy (“CCCEP”), etc.
Due to the development of new pharmacy education programs, program name changes and the discontinuation of certain programs, from time to time it is necessary to amend Schedule “C” to accurately reflect those changes. As such, Schedule “C” has been amended to remove outdated content and reflect current program names
