PEBC Exam
For internationally trained pharmacists, the path to practicing in Canada takes shape through the rigorous yet essential Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) exam. This series of competency-based assessments functions as a gateway, ensuring their skills and knowledge align with Canadian healthcare standards.
This online exam can be cleared in your home country, and you can apply for a work/PR visa once you clear this exam.
What Is The PEBC Exam?
Imagine it as a multi-part bridge connecting your international pharmaceutical qualifications to a fulfilling career in Canada. Each step of the bridge assesses your ability to:
-
Apply your pharmaceutical knowledge: The Qualifying Examination (QE) tests your understanding of drug therapy, pharmacy practice, and ethical principles through multiple-choice questions and a simulated practice environment (OSCE).
-
Demonstrate clinical competency: The Pharmacy Evaluating Examination (PEE) assesses your clinical skills and judgment through real-world scenarios and patient interactions.
