Moving Forward: Pharmacy Human Resources for the Future

CIHI Pharmacist Database
CPhA is working with the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) and other pharmacy organizations to develop a database of pharmacists that will provide annual data on the pharmacist workforce to further support HR planning. This robust pharmacist database released its first report Workforce Trends of Pharmacists for Selected Provinces and Territories in Canada in 2007 and annual reports are expected.
