Introduction
The PEBC Evaluating Examination (EE) is the first major step for internationally educated pharmacists seeking licensure in Canada. It assesses whether a candidate’s foundational pharmaceutical knowledge is comparable to the level expected of a Canadian pharmacy graduate. As an academic screening examination, the EE ensures that candidates are prepared to move forward to the PEBC Qualifying Examination pathway. In TerraLeap, we are already committed to helping candidates build a strong foundation for success in the PEBC licensing journey.
What Is the PEBC Evaluating Examination For ?
The PEBC Evaluating Examination serves to:
- Determine whether internationally trained pharmacists possess knowledge equivalent to an accredited Canadian pharmacy program.
- Assess competency across biomedical sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, pharmacy practice, and clinical decision-making.
- Ensure candidates have the academic readiness required to progress to the Qualifying Examination and eventual licensure in Canada.
It acts as an academic qualification assessment before candidates enter the clinical competency phase of evaluation.
Why Is the PEBC Evaluating Examination Used ?
Regulatory authorities and the PEBC use the EE to:
- Protect Public Safety: Confirm that incoming pharmacy professionals have the scientific and therapeutic knowledge necessary for safe practice.
- Ensure Academic Equivalency: Standardize the evaluation of international graduates across diverse educational systems.
- Create a Fair Licensing Pathway: Provide an objective, national mechanism for assessing readiness to enter pharmacy practice in Canada.
- Support Workforce Integrity: Uphold Canadian standards for pharmacy education and patient care delivery.
