Hieu Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 When universities in Canada will offer a entry-level PharmD ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medtech Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Every one of them will eventually offer Pharm Ds exclusively to follow the US's footsteps. For now several Universities are in the process of switching to a PharmD program. The one I'm familiar with is at U of T. Pharm D will differ from the current bachelors as Pharm Ds will have a research conponent and residency would be required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medtech Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Nope it will be an entry program, just like the US. People with Bach of pharm can still practise (and in theory they are equal, kind of like a grandfather clause), but they also have option of upgrading their degree.

CharmingHedgehog Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 U de Montreal is already offering PharmD U of Toronto is hmm... beginning the long process of fulfilling PharmD requirements because they will only be upgrading their 14 year-old curriculum next year U of Waterloo is closer to the process since they have a more.... advanced curriculum with more practical knowledge & rotations (i.e. Co-op). the movement to pharm D really is beginning to gain some momentum recently because of the changing in scopes of practice for pharmacists BSc Phms can still practice even if a program becomes Entry Level Pharm D. In UT, there's going to be a bridging program (yet to be developed) once their entry level pharm D curriculum gets accredited. The post-grad pharm D will be as is as far as I know. It is usually assumed that ppl with a Pharm D has more clinical experience at graduation than BSc, but that's not really the case since not all BSc programs are equal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylem29 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 The caveat of the bridging program at UT is of course, that it's limited in spots...so the entire class of 240 won't be able take the bridging program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there has been mentions of intense application process including CV submission, interview, and essay.... Somehow I don't think it's worth it.... especially when the bridging program just starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
