California Pharmacy Ethics

This two-day course is grounded in the premise that everyone has the potential to commit an ethical violation or violate professional expectations. With a specialized pre-course component written by a forensic pharmacist, the course addresses and remediates issues rooted in lack of adherence to laws, rules, guidelines, codes, or policies. A faculty member reviews each participant’s pre-course assignment submissions to be aware of each participant's unique background and cause(s) for referral, helping structure and personalize their facilitation of each course. Participants are guided to see where they initially went astray, gain critical insight into why it happened, and are held accountable to prevent future missteps by creating and presenting a Personalized Protection Plan©.

PBI is committed to providing interactive, individualized, impactful education. To facilitate this, our California Pharmacy Ethics (PE-22) course size is limited to 12 participants.

This course is California Board approved to meet the Title 16, California Code of Regulations (CCR) section 1773.5 requirements (or 16 CCR – 1358.1). If you are not licensed in California, see our one-day or two-day ethics courses which are applicable for all licensed pharmacists outside of California.
