Background

To ensure that pharmacists in the Maritime Provinces are able to offer immunization and injection services to patients, AV俱乐部 (Dal) Continuing Pharmacy Education (CPE) is offering an Immunization and Injection Administration Refresher Program (IIARP).

The IIARP has been developed to address the current need for pharmacist recertification.

Requirements for successful completion of the IIARP

• Participants must provide proof of successful completion of an immunization and injection education and training program.
  
• Participants must register through Dal CPE to attend the IIARP course
  
• During the IIARP course, participants will be required to administer one subcutaneous injection and one intramuscular injection to a partner using proper techniques under the direct supervision of an IIATP certifier.

Recognition of completion of the IIARP

Participants will receive a Record of Completion after the satisfactory administration of both injections. Participants must then notify their provincial regulatory authority of their successful completion of the IIARP, and apply for a Drug Administration Permit.聽
