The College previously released support tools, which primarily focused on community standards, to assist registrants in preparing for upcoming reviews. Now, to address the differences in community and hospital practice, new support tools have been developed specifically for registrants working in hospital pharmacy practice.

ABOUT THE PRACTICE REVIEW PROGRAM
The Practice Review Program is a comprehensive review of a registrant’s practice and the pharmacy where they work.
