Canadian Pharmacy Residency Board

CPRB defines a leading practice as a noteworthy practice or implementation of a tool that has a positive impact on the delivery or educational outcomes of a Pharmacy Practice Residency Program. They are worthy of recognition for what they contribute to Pharmacy Residency Programs. Many are ingenious in their simplicity and show how innovative strategies can be applied, and excellence achieved.

During the on-site survey visit, surveyors will verify the leading practice information provided. If the practice/tool is approved by CPRB, it is added to CSHP’s website. It is recommended that Pharmacy Residency Leading Practices applications be submitted with the “Request for Accreditation Survey” as part of the pre-survey documents required prior to the survey. However, the Board will accept Pharmacy Residency Leading Practices applications post survey visit with the written comments submitted to the Board within 30 days of receipt of the survey report. Please note that the Pharmacy Residency Leading Practices do not influence the accreditation decision.
