Additional Entry-to-Practice Requirements to be Piloted Fall 2009

Later this fall, OCP will pilot the remaining activities associated with the entry-to-practice requirements: the Pharmacy Technician Jurisprudence Examination and the Structured Practical Training Program (for CCAPP graduates) or the Structured Practical Evaluation (for technicians completing the Bridging Program). Individuals who are selected to sit the PEBC Pilot Qualifying Examination will be invited to complete these activities so that they may fulfill all of the requirements to proceed with registration.

In order to assist individuals in their decision to apply to volunteer for the PEBC Pilot Qualifying Examination, the following information about these additional requirements may be helpful. Note that the fees associated with these activities are based on the existing fee schedule and have been approved by the OCP Council in principle, but are pending any necessary bylaw changes.

Filing fee: Required to open a file with OCP, prior to registering for the jurisprudence exam and structured practical training (Note this fee will not apply to individuals who have already been certified by OCP) $124.25
