I am not registered as a Student Pharmacist nor Non-Practising Registrant.  Do I need to have professional liability insurance even though I am not currently working?

Yes, professional liability insurance is required if you wish to maintain your registration. The requirement is determined by your registration class, not by whether you are actively practising or providing pharmacy services to patients in BC. 

This applies to registrants on any type of leave of absence, including parental or medical leave, who wish to maintain their registration.
