Comprehensive Oral Assessment
Our residents will complete a Comprehensive Oral Assessment as a criteria for successful completion of the Program, as per the Standards of BC Pharmacy Residency Program. The Comprehensive Oral Assessment is designed to evaluate the resident’s ability to systematically create a comprehensive pharmacy care plan and present findings and recommendations to a panel of examiners. Detailed information regarding the Comprehensive Oral Assessment can be found in Comprehensive Oral Assessment-A Resident’s Guide. This Guide provides detailed information on the description of the assessment, expectations, procedures, preparation and assessment of the resident:
