- Deadline: March 31, 2028.
- According to the Ordre, it is not a prerequisite for carrying out the new activities.
- Required training is still necessary, notably to administer vaccines.
What should you know about this training?
According to the Ordre, it is a training of about two hours offered online, to pass by March 31, 2028. The Ordre states that it is not a prerequisite for carrying out the new activities.
So can I start on December 9 without training?
The mandatory training is not a precondition, but the pharmacist must still assess what they have mastered. Each activity must relate to their competence, and the Ordre invites pharmacists to plan their development and practise progressively.
What training is required before acting?
The required training must be passed, notably to administer vaccines. It should not be confused with the mandatory training tied to Bill 67.
How to organize it as a team
- List the pharmacists and each one’s completion date.
- Keep a separate register of specific training, such as vaccination.
- Ask each pharmacist to do their self-assessment, activity by activity.
- Set aside time for the Ordre’s webcast on the evening of November 30, if it applies to you.
Our free assessment covers these items in the competence section. Check the current details with the Ordre.
