Alberta College of Pharmacy Modules

Licensee Education Program

The Alberta College of Pharmacy (ACP), with support from Queen’s University, Office of Professional Development and Educational Scholarship, has developed a Licensee Education Program and Proprietor Self-Assessment.  The program is designed to help pharmacists, licensees, and proprietors:  

• articulate the licensee’s and proprietor’s legal responsibilities, and ACP’s expectations when operating a pharmacy, particularly regarding the authority, responsibility, and accountability of licensees, in context with current legislation;
• use relevant resources to update and maintain knowledge about legislation and standards for operating a pharmacy; and
• develop an understanding of the pharmacy licensee’s role: leader, manager, professional, and clinician.

The Licensee Education Program consists of two parts:

• Part A includes readings, peer conversation and reflection, and an online module (Chapters 1-5). Part A of the program has been CCCEP-accredited for six continuing education units (CEUs).
• Part B includes an online module and resources (Chapters 6-7) and a self-assessment (Chapter 8). Part B has been CCCEP-accredited for four continuing education units (CEUs).

The Proprietor Self-Assessment is available now.

The Canadian Council on Continuing Education in Pharmacy has accredited Part A of this program for six CEUs and Part B for four CEUs.

Fees

• $250 for those enrolling in both Part A and Part B 
• $175 for those enrolling in Part B only
• $100 for those enrolling in the Proprietor Self-Assessment only
