Preparing pharmacists for Bill 67: Practical training for respiratory physical examination
The recent adoption of Bill 67 in Quebec significantly expands pharmacists’ prescribing authority for common ailments and chronic conditions. However, many pharmacists have had limited formal training in key assessment skills such as the gathering of a medical history, physical examination, and clinical evaluation. Continuing education for these skillsets for community pharmacists is limited.
This project includes the development of a practical, accredited training program focused on respiratory physical examination skills, combining online learning with hands-on workshops led by clinicians. The project team will train an initial cohort of 20 to 30 pharmacists and measure changes in participants’ self-reported confidence. It will create a train-the-trainer module to facilitate expansion as demand grows and frame the program to enable its adoption in other provinces.
As a registered charity, the Canadian Foundation for Pharmacy (CFP) is uniquely positioned to fund practical research and innovative practice models at the grassroots level, as well as recognize the leaders of today and tomorrow. Our vision is to be a catalyst for change in the profession of pharmacy by seeking out, nurturing and inspiring innovation. Your donations are a way to give back to a profession that has much to look forward to. Thank you for your support.
