provisional Pharmacist Registration of unlicensed residents
Residents Who Are Not Yet Fully Licensed
Generally, new graduates become fully licensed in July if they successfully pass their PEBC
examinations. Residents who are unsuccessful on their first attempt at licensure need to register
as a “Provisional Pharmacist” with the College of Pharmacists of BC.
Once the resident meets the College requirements for full licensure they can transfer from the “Provisional Pharmacist” category to the fully licensed category. Please note that additional preceptor oversight is required for residents who are not fully licensed. Residents who are unlicensed must notify preceptors of their licensure status at the beginning of each rotation.

Pharmacy Assistant until the provisional license is granted.
