What’s new: A prescribed learning activity on Evidence‑Informed Practice (EIP) for the 2026–27 Continuing Competence Program (CCP) cycle is now available in Academy. Completion is required of all pharmacists by the end of the 2026–27 CCP cycle. The activity is accredited by the Canadian Council on Continuing Education in Pharmacy (CCCEP); pharmacists can claim up to 2.0 accredited continuing education units (CEUs) upon completion.

Why it matters: EIP integrates the best available research evidence, your clinical expertise, and your patient’s preferences, values, and circumstances to support safe, effective, person‑centred care. The Standards of Practice for Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians (SPPPT) require pharmacists to use EIP when making patient‑care decisions. EIP is also referred to as evidence‑based medicine (EBM).

What’s inside the module: It explores key EIP concepts, including how to interpret and apply relevant standards of practice using a systematic, five‑step process described in ACP’s Advice to the Professions: Evidence‑informed practice for pharmacy professionals (published May 2026).

Who should note this: Pharmacists completing CCP requirements for 2026–27; educators and learners aligning to Alberta’s SPPPT expectations; internationally trained pharmacy professionals seeking clarity on EIP expectations in Alberta (per the source’s description of SPPPT requirements).
