Continuing Education Certificate Programs
As part of its mandate, OPA’s Drug Information and Research Centre (DIRC) develops and delivers educational training programs for pharmacists and other healthcare professionals. The programs vary from one-day to six-day courses. Each program serves a unique need for practicing healthcare professionals. Over 94 per cent of participants report that DIRC’s programs met their learning needs and 92 per cent would attend a similar program on another topic.
Below is a preview of 2013 clinical programs. In addition to these topics, we will be adding new programs that address learning needs related to expanded scope of practice, including courses to strengthen operations management and communication skills. Check back often to ensure you don’t miss your opportunity to register for a program.
