Hospital Pharmacy Residency Programs

Hospital Pharmacy residencies in Ontario are co-ordinated by the Pharmacy Residency Forum of Ontario (PRFO). The accredited residency programs follow the standards and guidelines of the Canadian Pharmacy Residency Board (CPRB). Individual programs are affiliated with one of the academic pharmacy programs in Ontario, including the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Toronto. These 12-month learning experiences involve structured rotations in pharmacy practice, education, research, and administration. The goal is to prepare pharmacists for challenging and innovative pharmacy practice careers. The residency year will start between July and September.
