Professional Development
As valuable health professionals, pharmacists are accountable to the patients they care for by ensuring their knowledge and skills are kept up-to-date and they remain competent to practice. One of the ways that pharmacists, like other professionals, ensure their competence to practice is by being involved in continuing professional development (CPD).- Learning Portfolio Requirements

PREVIOUSLY RECORDED PROGRAMS
The College of Pharmacists of Manitoba (College) has a variety of free accredited professional development (PD) programs available to pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. The recorded PD programs listed below were developed, presented to a live audience, and recorded in Manitoba to address pharmacy practice needs in the province.
The College evaluates each recorded PD program on an annual basis to determine if expired programs remain relevant and accurate. The College will either extend a recorded program’s expiry date or delete the program based on this yearly evaluation.
