Clinical Clerkships and Additional Expenses
Required clinical clerkships in facilities that have been approved as affiliated teaching sites by the Faculty will be supervised by University-appointed personnel. These clerkships may be scheduled in community and hospital pharmacies, health care agencies and institutions, manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry, and with selected pharmacy organizations. Clerkship sites outside the Greater Vancouver area are also used. All students will be required to complete a portion of their clerkship time outside the Greater Vancouver area.
Students will be required to pay the B.Sc. (Pharm.) practice fee. See Program and Course Fees. Students should be prepared for clinical clerkships in sites around BC and therefore should also include travel and accommodation costs for these experiences in estimating total personal expenses.
College Registration Requirement
Students must maintain registration with the College of Pharmacists of British Columbia while they are in the program.
Interprofessional Education
Students must meet the interprofessional education requirements of the program, including use of the online Interprofessional Passport to record mandatory and elective interprofessional activities. Students are also encouraged to take Interprofessional Health and Human Service (IHHS) courses, all of which are Faculty-approved electives. For more information see Health Disciplines.
Credit/D/Fail
Students in the Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy program are permitted to take a maximum of 6 credits of non-pharmacy approved electives to satisfy degree requirements in compliance with the University's Credit/D/Fail policy. See Credit/D/Fail.
