Limited Pharmacist Registration

Limited pharmacist registration is a registration class which allows for individuals who are not yet eligible for full registration to provide pharmacy services under the supervision of a full pharmacist. They may only use the title “pharmacist (limited)” and must not use any abbreviations.

Temporary Registration

Temporary registration was initiated under Section 45(1)(b) of the College's Health Professions Act bylaws. This type of registration allows eligible individuals to become registered to practice in BC through an expedited process, enabling them to provide pharmacy services during a period of emergency.

There are four classes of temporary registration:
