CURRICULUM ANNOUNCEMENTS

NOVEMBER 24, 2023–

As the Ontario College of Pharmacists does not require pharmacists to submit any accredited learning activities, sessions at Pharmacy U Toronto 2024 will not be accredited. Instead, the sessions you attend can contribute to your continuing education requirements as non-accredited learning activities.

All sessions will continue to be vetted to ensure they meet the standards of quality that you have come to expect at Pharmacy U events. You will also receive a certificate of attendance two weeks after the event that can be used in your learning portfolio for continuing education requirements.
