Many pharmacy employers will employ UBC pharmacy graduates shortly after completing their pharmacy program, but before they have become Full Pharmacists. The College would like to remind students and employers that pursuant to section 46(1)(a) and Schedule C of the HPA Bylaws, a person must be enrolled as a student in a recognized pharmacy education program in order to be eligible for Student Pharmacist registration. 

The College Office will be closed from December 25, 2018 to January 1, 2019. 

If you are planning to submit your continuing education, or complete your registration or pharmacy license renewal over the holidays, make sure you are prepared. 

Patient identification verification refers to the matching of a patient to an intended treatment. It is a key activity performed by all healthcare professionals in a hospital setting. Risk to patient safety occurs when there is a mismatch between a given patient and the pharmaceutical care intended for him or her, whether the care is in the form of dispensing a medication, monitoring a patient’s drug therapy or something as simple as discussing or requesting a patient’s information over the phone.

New Electronic Record Keeping requirements will come into effect on November 13, 2018.

On September 28, 2018, the Council on Licensure, Enforcement & Regulation (CLEAR), presented the College with the 2018 Regulatory Excellence Award for our work on pharmacy security measures.
