EVALUATING EXAMINATION SYLLABUS
INTRODUCTION
This syllabus has been compiled to guide candidates who are preparing to write the PEBC Pharmacist Evaluating Examination. It contains sample outlines of Canadian university level pharmacy course outline material, in subject areas that are considered important to the foundational knowledge base for preparation for the practice of pharmacy.
It is emphasized that the material found within this syllabus gives selected sampling from a variety of sources, and its purpose is to serve as a guide to the curriculum content of current pharmacy education in Canada.
This information may be helpful in your preparation to write the Pharmacist Evaluating Examination. However, this syllabus should not be interpreted to be the blueprint for the construction of any questions for the Pharmacist Evaluating Examination. PEBC examination questions are developed independently of this syllabus.
The syllabus is organized into four sections that correspond to the four major subject areas represented on the Pharmacist Evaluating Examination. These include:
- Biomedical Sciences
- Pharmaceutical Sciences
- Pharmacy Practice
- Clinical Sciences
- Professional Practice Skills
- Behavioural, Social and Administrative Pharmacy Sciences
Both formal education and practice experience prepare you for the Pharmacist Evaluating Examination, Pharmacist Qualifying Examination and licensure as a pharmacist. In order to determine what additional learning needs you have, prior to taking the examination, you should assess the knowledge and skills that you have already acquired, in comparison with the subject areas evaluated in the Pharmacist Evaluating Examination.
Remember that language proficiency will also affect your performance. Written and verbal language proficiency and communication skills, at a level satisfactory for a health professional, are essential for your preparedness for taking the PEBC examinations.
Once you have identified your learning needs, it is your responsibility to find suitable reference sources, materials and/or additional experience to prepare for the Pharmacist Evaluating Examination. A partial list of references and learning resources (review guides, textbooks, federal legislation and internet resources) is available on the PEBC website.
