The regulation of pharmacy technicians in Canada has led to an expanded scope of practice. Despite some variations from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, the core nine competencies of pharmacy technicians practice identified by the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA(R)) remain consistent nationally. These core nine competencies are the topics of this book. In order to become regulated (certified) pharmacy technicians must satisfy the requirements of the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC(R)) by completing successfully the Qualifying Exam divided in Part 1: MCQ (multiple choice questions) and Part 2: OSPE (stations) to ensure they have the necessary entry-level professional knowledge, skills and abilities to work effectively and safely within their scope of practice. Canadian Pharmacy Exams(TM) - Fast Review of Pharmacy Technician Regulation Competencies has been designed to facilitate knowledge transfer to practice through learning and skills assessment activities. The book is partitioned conveniently in nine easy to master self-study modules. The modules provide high standard learning to help pharmacy technicians seeking regulation master the core nine competencies of PEBC Exams (MCQ and OSPE). In addition, each module contains an active learning activity in the form of practice-based scenarios/multiple choice questions to evaluate the level of understanding of the material. The answers are supplemented by comments and explanations to ensure further understanding and learning of new concepts. These comments are truly the keystone of Canadian Pharmacy Exams(TM).
