KEY INITIATIVES
AFPC is engaged in a number of key initiatives designed to advance our mission and vision. We provide a range of relevant resources to support our faculty members in the delivery of exceptional education to pharmacy students across Canada.
AFPC PT4CPC PROJECT
PT4CPC stands for Pharmacist Training for Comprehensive Primary Care. It is one of the projects of Team Primary Care: Training for Transformation, funded by the Government of Canada's Sectoral Workforce Solutions Program.​
​
AFPC is leading PT4CPC in collaboration with Team Primary Care partners, other pharmacy organizations, faculties and pharmacists on advisory working groups. Learn more.

ACADEMIC ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD
AFPC’s academic electronic health record (aEHR) is specifically designed for use in teaching and learning environments. Our goal is to simulate realistic digital patient charts, preparing healthcare students for real world practice. It is being use in all 11 schools of pharmacy, as well as in nurse practitioner programs in Ontario and for interprofessional education. Learn more.​

EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES
AFPC’s Educational Outcomes, developed in 2010 and updated in 2017, outline what graduates are able to do at the end of a first professional degree in pharmacy. Learn more.
EQUITY, DIVERSITY, INCLUSION & ANTI-RACISM
AFPC has a responsibility to challenge all forms of racism, prejudice and bigotry and a moral obligation to ensure fair treatment for all, promote diversity and create inclusive learning and working environments. Our position statement was approved by our Board of Directors in February 2022.
Through AFPC's PT4CPC Team Primary Care project, we developed a series of 10 e-learning modules on equity, diversity, inclusion and Indigenous health and cultural safety. The modules are available for free for pharmacy faculties. The modules are also available for sale to practicing pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. ​
