Learning Sessions
Designed for IPGs in the very early to early stages of licensure (e.g., IPGs considering relicensing in Canada, those undertaking their assessment of education and/or those studying for the PEBC Evaluating Exam), our large group learning sessions provide a foundational understanding of pharmacy practice and the licensure process in Canada.
These sessions cover topics such as Canadian health care, pathways to licensure, career opportunities, roles in pharmacy and navigating barriers to licensure. Participants gain essential insights to help them make informed decisions about licensure, overcome common barriers and build professional connections.
