Founded in 1891, the College of Pharmacists of British Columbia is a vital link in the chain of trust that connects patients, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, and as such, we are accountable to the public. Our job is to protect public health by licensing and regulating pharmacists and pharmacy technicians and the places where they practice. We are responsible for making sure every pharmacist and pharmacy technician in B.C. is fully qualified and able to provide the public with competent care.
