Requirements
Admission Requirements: UBC's Certified Pharmacy Professional Development program sets its admission path around applicant type. International Pharmacy Graduates must first register with the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities' Pharmacist's Gateway Canada and begin pre-registration with the College of Pharmacists of British Columbia, obtaining an eServices ID, and must enrol in the full 24-week program to complete the Structured Practical Training practicum. They must also meet an English-language proficiency requirement that stays valid for two years from the test date and must remain current through application, the registration deadline, and the start of the practicum, though the program does not publish a specific test or score. Canadian-trained pharmacists re-entering practice after a prolonged absence, or updating core competencies, may take individual modules without the same formal entry requirements. All participants must complete an immunization review at least four months before the practicum begins and must maintain a minimum 60% average in the classroom portion to progress to the Structured Practical Training component.
