What aspects of UBC Pharmacy's competency-based curriculum appeal to you most?

Opinion (Ethics)

British Columbia pharmacists have expanded scope of practice significantly, now able to prescribe for 21 minor ailments and contraception, order laboratory tests, and adapt prescriptions with greater flexibility than most other provinces. However, recent College reviews have identified instances where pharmacists are prescribing outside their authorized scope, including antibiotics for conditions beyond UTIs and non-NSAID drugs for musculoskeletal pain. Given BC's unique expanded pharmacy scope and the need to address healthcare access issues, how should the profession balance autonomy in practice with adherence to defined scope limitations?

Should British Columbia pharmacists be required to participate in the federal safe supply program despite concerns about drug diversion?

Opinion (Ethics)

In Prince George, BC, surveillance operations revealed individuals trading illicit drugs for safe supply medications outside pharmacies daily, with prescribed pills worth up to $20 per tablet on the street. Pharmacy managers report that patients are regularly accosted outside their stores by people trying to purchase safe supply drugs. The BC Pharmacy Association states pharmacists have obligations not to dispense if they believe medication won't be used by the patient themselves. How should pharmacists balance their role in harm reduction programs with their responsibility to prevent medication diversion in BC's context of both an opioid crisis and street drug market?
