Individuals who are enrolled in the University of Toronto’s PharmD for Pharmacists Program and who meet the requirements for registration as an intern other than having successfully completed their pharmacy education registration requirement or the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) Qualifying Exam for Pharmacists within the past two years may register as interns to be able to perform the controlled acts and be engaged in the scope of practice in Ontario under appropriate supervision.
