Your Gateway to Exceptional Protection

Our PLI is designed by liability insurance experts in consultation with pharmacy professionals and automatically covers any changes in the scope of practice after approval by OCP.  

While recent updates from the Ontario College of Pharmacists (OCP) have changed registration requirements for pharmacy students, having PLI remains essential. It protects you from potential legal costs and provides peace of mind to your supervisors and placement sites.
